Eagles at Saints picks and predictions

Prediction

Eagles 27, Saints 14

Moneyline

PASS. 

I like the Eagles to pick up the win here as +125 underdogs, and even though I think they win handily, I feel more confident betting on the spread.

Against the spread

BET EAGLES +3 (-120).

Philadelphia is the better team with the more reliable offense, and I expect the Saints to come back down to Earth after riding high on their 1st 2 wins. I like the Eagles to come away with the victory, but even if they lose, expect for this to be a close game in which Carr struggles.

Be aware that the Eagles are only 1-8-1 ATS in their last 10 dating back to last season.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 49.5 (-110).

Philadelphia’s defense is questionable, but I expect the Eagles’ secondary to see a lot of success vs. this Saints squad that has a lot of unproven receivers. Both teams will likely be able to run the ball with some success, but I don’t expect either squad to put up enough points for this game to reach 50 points.

This is only a lean because it’s hard to ignore that the Saints have scored 40-plus points in each of their 1st 2 games.

First look: Philadelphia Eagles at New Orleans Saints odds and lines

Looking at Sunday’s Philadelphia Eagles at New Orleans Saints Week 3 NFL odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Philadelphia Eagles (1-1) travel to meet the New Orleans Saints (2-0) at Caesars Superdome in Week 3 on Sunday. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we look at Eagles vs. Saints odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds before making our expert NFL picks and predictions later in the week.

The Eagles suffered a terrible collapse Monday night in Week 2, falling 22-21 against the Atlanta Falcons. Philadelphia was driving, looking to salt the game away, up 18-15. QB Jalen Hurts dumped it off on a high-percentage pass in the flat to RB Saquon Barkley on 3rd down, inside 2 minutes to go, but he dropped the pass. Philadelphia had to settle for a FG, when it appeared it had a sure TD.

QB Kirk Cousins drove the length of the field in short order, rallying the team to a win. It’s a chance they never should have had.

The Eagles were at least much better defensively than Week 1 in Brazil, a wild 34-29 win over the Green Bay Packers at Arena Corinthians. And, to be fair, Philadelphia was without WR A.J. Brown (hamstring), and he is likely to miss Week 3, too.

The Saints piled up a 44-19 win on the road against the Dallas Cowboys, coming on the heels of a 47-10 win over the Carolina Panthers in the opener.

The Saints are the 3rd NFL team to score 30 or more points in the 1st half in each of their 1st 2 games of the season, joining the 1968 Oakland Raiders and 2001 Indianapolis Colts. New Orleans is the 5th team to score 44 or more points in the 1st 2 games. It also accomplished the feat in 2009 when it won the Super Bowl with QB Drew Brees.
