Saints vs Eagles Prediction
The Eagles are coming into this contest as a 1.5 point favorite and the point total set at 44 with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Eagles have been playing much better in their recent games, the defense is playing much better not allowing as many points, and the offense is starting to roll under Hurts and he has been improving each week in every game. The Saints lost their first game without Jameis Winston in the lineup and they were playing a Titans team that is not that good on offense since Derrick Henry went out. The Eagles have been playing much better recently and they are going to be looking for their first home win of the season here. The best bet to place in this game is on the Eagles to cover the spread or on the Eagles moneyline to win this game straight up.
