*Lines as of Wednesday morning
The Saints have been on fire in the opening weeks of the season, showcasing a potent offense led by star running back Alvin Kamara. Their rushing attack has been formidable, averaging 185 yards per game, while their defense has been stingy, earning a league-best +62 point differential.
On the other hand, the Eagles have struggled to contain the run, giving up significant yardage in their first two games. Their defensive line, which was expected to be a strength, has underperformed, leaving them vulnerable against strong ground attacks like the one the Saints possess. Veteran pass rusher Brandon Graham expressed the team’s frustration after their recent loss and vowed to improve.
With a quick turnaround for the Eagles, they will need to make adjustments swiftly to compete with the high-flying Saints. Sunday’s game promises to be a thrilling matchup between two contrasting teams looking to prove their worth.
