Philadelphia Eagles Team News
The Philadelphia Eagles are playing one of the best seasons in franchise history. They are at 13-2, but have yet to win the division. They need one more win in next two games and the first opportunity will be this Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.
The Eagles offense is simply unstoppable this season. Their offensive line is the best in the entire league, which allows a large number of easily won yards by running and also gives time quarterback in the pocket. The only thing that can worry the fans is that the defense has been at a slightly weaker level in the last two months. Even so, the Eagles are first favorite in the NFC for Super Bowl appearance.
Although starting quarterback Jalen Hurts will not play, Gardner Minshew showed last week that he is capable to replace him. The Eagles are too dominant in all lines of the team. They do not depend on one player so they will be absolute favorites against the Saints.
New Orleans Saints Team News
Unless a big miracle happens in the last two weeks, the New Orleans Saints will not play in the postseason. They are at 6-9 and need two wins, plus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to lose both games which is not realistic.
This franchise is going through the biggest transition in their history. At the end of last season, Sean Payton left after 15 years as head coach. The Saints promoted Dennis Allen, but he doesn’t seem to be the caliber to lead this team to success. The fact is that they had a lot of problems with injuries, but this year they didn’t show many good things.
The Saints played two best games against the Las Vegas Raiders and the Cleveland Browns. Both times their defense was fantastic, but that’s not how they can win in Philadelphia. At Lincoln Financial Field, the only way to win is for the offense to be outstanding.
Philadlephia Eagles vs New Orleans Saints H2H
Five times these two teams played against each other in the last seven years and each time home team won. Three times it was the Philadelphia Eagles, twice the New Orleans Saints. The most important game was in the 2019 conference semifinals when it was 20:14 for the Saints.
Injuries
Jalen Hurts, Lane Johnson, Avonte Maddox and C.J. Gardner-Johnson are injured and won’t play for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Andrus Peat, Marcus Maye, Dwayne Washington, Jarvis Landry and Cesar Ruiz are out for the New Orleans Saints, while Chase Hansen, Pete Warner, Marshon Lattimore, Chris Olave and Justin Evans are questionable.
Philadelphia Eagles vs New Orleans Saints Prediction
Jalen Hurts absence is not so significant for the Philadelphia Eagles in this game. Even without him, they are a much more dominant team than the New Orleans Saints. The victory is necessary for them to confirm first place in the NFC East and the conference as well. They will be highly motivated. When the Eagles are in that mood, they are unstoppable.
