The New Orlean Saints travel to Philly this weekend for an NFL clash with the Eagles at the Lincoln Financial Field. The Eagles, third in the NFC East, have a 3-8-1 record this season. They are on a four-game losing streak coming into this match, and the quality of the opposition suggests that the bad run may go on. The New Orleans Saints are having a stellar campaign. First in the NFC South standings, they are 10-2 for the season with a nine-game win streak under their belts. The Saints have won their last four away games, the most recent trip being to take on the Atlanta Falcons in a contest they won 21-16. While the Eagles lost their last home match - 23-17 against the Seattle Seahawks - they won the previous two, the New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys being their respective victims. The Saints have been without veteran QB Drew Brees for several weeks now, but they have coped admirably in his absence. The reason behind this is that the Saints have adopted a more decisive running game without Brees in the team. Taysom Hill is a much quicker option than Brees, averaging 5.3 yards per carry in a rush. 

The Packers exposed the flaws in the Eagles' rush defence last week, and it is a blueprint that we anticipate the Saints following to even more significant effect. The Saints have won four of their previous five matches against the Eagles, and we expect their good form to continue. Back the Saints -7.0.
