Cowboys/Eagles For The NFC East Title

[MrMonkey]

Just saw IMO pretty accurate preview, especially the 2nd paragragh on Saints-Eagles matchup!

Saints (11-5) at Eagles (10-6): The Saints will likely be favored in this game, especially after throttling Tampa Bay in Week 17. But New Orleans has lost its last three away games, and has never won a true road game in the playoffs. They struggle with power football on both sides of the ball (and the Eagles, despite all the buzz about Chip Kellys fancy offense, has a power running game). Not that Drew Brees figures to have much trouble throwing against the Eagles (30th-ranked pass defense) or Cowboys.

The Eagles have an explosive offense led by a rookie quarterback in Nick Foles. He did look somewhat daunted Sunday night in the most important game of his career so far, and the secondary had few answers for Dallas receiving corps especially the big, strong players. The Saints, of course, rely on Jimmy Graham easily the best tight end in football this year.

So Phily is -2.5? I guess they need equal money on both sides and Eagles have lots of luv! At least most of the posters here had the Cowboys + the points! GL posters can't be fooled!

The Eagles got the best game they could have out of the Cowboys last night. I didn't feel the Eagles really did much effectively to stop the Dallas pass rush. Saints are 4th in the league with 49 sacks, so they better address that this week. Another matchup problem is the Saints are 2nd in the NFL in passing yards allowed and Philly is last in passing yards allowed. They better run the ball, and effectively, to win the game. Keep Brees on the bench and the Saints D tired. Long sustained drives. They are certainly capable but I know how much they like the hurry up.

Don't trust Brees. The crowd will get into him. Chip left a lot of plays in his sleeve last night and will unleash them this week. People think coaches run all their plays every week.
