The New Orleans Saints (5-4) will take on the Philadelphia Eagles (4-6) Sunday afternoon. Kickoff is set for 1:00 p.m. ET at Lincoln Financial Field. Below, we look at the Saints vs. Eagles odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.
The Saints saw their comeback effort fall just short last week at Tennessee, as they fell to 3-2 on the road. New Orleans failed to convert a two-point conversion in the closing minutes that would have tied the game but managed to at least secure a backdoor cover in the 23-21 loss.
The Eagles are coming off an impressive 30-13 road win at Denver, pushing their road record to 4-2 on the season. However, Philly is one of just two teams that have yet to win at home, and the Eagles have allowed 28.5 points per game in those four contests.

Saints at Eagles odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Eagles 23, Saints 17
Money line
Though Philadelphia hasn’t gotten the job done at home yet this season, the Eagles have been playing well lately. In their last three games, the Eagles have outscored opponents 98-46, with the lone loss being a 27-24 defeat vs. the Chargers.
The Saints will be without QB Jameis Winston (torn ACL) for the rest of the season, and will now be missing Kamara for a second straight game as well. That gives the EAGLES (-150) the edge to come out on top and notch their first home victory.
Against the spread
Since beating Tampa Bay October 31st, the Saints have lost two in a row, including an embarrassing home loss to the Falcons. Though this sets up to be a pretty tight game, the EAGLES -2.5 (-125) should win by at least a field goal.
Over/Under
The Saints have allowed 19.8 points per game, the seventh-lowest total in the NFL. Their offense isn’t anywhere close to full strength, and will likely struggle to move the ball consistently without Kamara in the backfield.
The Under is 7-3 in the last 10 road games for New Orleans and is 14-5 in Philadelphia’s last 19 home contests. Look for that trend to continue and back the UNDER 42.5 (-110).
