Does it seem as if were the underdogs (1 Viewer)

[christina26]

It seems already that people are expecting the eagles to win. Their saying that Drew was not that great toward the end of the season and our inexperience in the playoffs could hurt us and that we are only a .500 team at home. In way I think this is good cuz when people think the saints aren't gonna win we end up winning big so I hope this trend continues

Don't know who you heard that from, but every media "expert" I've seen has picked the Saints to win this game.

We're the favs in Vegas and the few analysts i've watched since last night pick the Saints. I don't think we're the ones being considered underdogs this time around.

 

[christina26]

it was a show on espn i think outside the lines or something

 

[geauxboy]

I haven't hoid anyone say the Eagles will win. We are even favored by 5 at this point.

 

[LSSpam]

No, it doesn't

I prefer to be viewed as the underdog. How it has been all season.

Saints are definitely NOT the underdogs. You might hear a few people picking the Eagles before Saturday, buy they're going to be few and far between.

Take a listen to ESPN radio - The Herd, Dan Patrick Show, and Sports Bash.

Most everyone on these show - excluding Dan Patrick - think that the Eagles probably will beat us at this point.

Not to say that they will not flip flop before the week is over, but they're scrambling to stay on the Eagles bandwagon at this point.

Thats what I'm saying I think alot of people think the eagles can beat us based on their hot winning streak and I think its the same thing with what happen to the cowboys.
To me they did not look that impressive but they were winning and that made them superbowl contenders now look at them. With the Eagles their offense is really based on the play of westbrook and I think we can handle westbrook

 

[desmondskiggers]

Good! I hope they ALL pick the Eagles. Eagles, Eagles, Eagles. They gon' win!!!!

Two big playmakers (at least) are out from the victory we had over them earlier in the year.

Lito Sheppard is out and so is McNabb.


Yes, Garcia has played well, but it was McNabb on offense and Sheppard on defense that gave the Eagles a lead against the Saints. Otherwise, we beat them handily.


Can we lose to the Eagles? ABSOLUTELY... If we beat ourselves.

We win the turnover battle and play well in the red zone and we should not have any problems taking this game.

Cowherd probably picked us to lose on the bye week too. ESPN radio is worse than their TV coverage.

Most I have heard people are picking the Saints to lose to the Chargers or Ravens in the playoffs.

As said above, "If we beat ourselves." I can't wait to see what Payton has in store for the Eagles...

You guys are favored by 7 points. Every analyst picked you so far...
