NEW ORLEANS SAINTS - PHILADELPHIA EAGLES


New Orleans have won only one playoff game, in their 40 season history and this is a team, with almost no post season experience in key positions.


The resurgent Eagles, are in the playoffs for the 5th time in 6 seasons and have won six straight, under back up quarterback Jeff Garcia. Having found a way to win, instead of lose games.


Foe example, they lost 27-24 in the Louisiana Superdome, when these two met in October, John Carney kicking a field goal as time expired. Then again at Tampa, the very next week, to a 62 yard fg, in the last second.


Now, they expect to be the team "stealing" the win, like the winning 3 points against the Giants last week, as time ran out.


Running back, Brian Westbrook is the key and comes here in the form of his life, carrying for a career high 141 yards, in the wildcard game.


Saints are 1-6 ATS ( against the spread) in their last 7 at home as favourites and they have a very tough "ask", giving up 5.5 points to the Eagles.


4 points Philadelphia +5.5 points 2.0 Pinnacle// Vegas line.


Good Luck.
