Following Monday night’s disappointing loss to the Falcons, it became evident that the Eagles’ defense is struggling to stop the run and generate pressure on opposing quarterbacks. This raises concerns as they prepare to face the 2-0 New Orleans Saints, a team known for their strong running game and recent dominant performance against the Cowboys.
This upcoming matchup at the Superdome could pose a significant challenge for the Eagles.

2024 REGULAR SEASON RECORD: 1-1
PICK: Saints 36, Eagles 27.
After a strong start, the Saints’ offense under new coordinator Klint Kubiak poses a real threat to the Eagles. The lackluster pass rush of the Eagles is a concern, and it’s unlikely to improve significantly in this game. As a result, the Saints are favored to win.
