Vegas Line: Eagles (-3.0)
Just a month ago it would have been a shock to see the Saints in the Wild Card round, let alone having to win to possibly get into the game at all. But the Panthers got hot, the Saints went cold, and the NFC South had a sudden shift in power.
Up north the Eagles took off once Nick Foles become the team’s unquestioned quarterback. Foles had arguably (at least according to some metrics) the 3rd best season ever by a quarterback. The Eagles dominated under his watch, and secured the NFC East crown after beating Dallas in the regular season’s final game.
