Does anyone think the Eagles can pull off a massive upset against Drew Brees the high-flying New Orleans Saints down in the Superdome this afternoon?
Las Vegas certainly doesn't. As my colleague Ed Barkowitz reported, The Eagles are 8- or 8.5-point underdogs (depending on which New Jersey line you're using), just the seventh time since 1993 the defending Super Bowl champion is an underdog by seven or more points.
Our Eagles beat writers are also down on the Birds' chances. Les Bowen, Paul Domowitch, Jeff McLane and Zach Berman all predict an Eagles loss this afternoon (Bowen thinks the Saints will win by 26 points).
