Point Spread: -4.50 | -105.00 Philadelphia (Home)
Result: Win
Chip Kelly is still on the hot seat after a 1-3 start in Philadelphia, and the Eagles are desperately in need of a win here at home this week against the Saints. New Orleans needed overtime to beat the banged up Cowboys at the Super Dome last week, and they are 0-2 on the road. This looks like a good spot to back the home team.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Home Cookin' - The Saints have traditionally struggled on the road, specifically in outdoor games. They are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 road games vs. a team with a losing home record.
2. DeMarco Murray - He led the league in rushing last season, but he's only totaled 47 yards so far this season. He should have a chance to break out this week against a Saints defense that ranks 25th in the NFL against the run, allowing opponents to average 123 yards per game.
3. X-Factor - The Saints will start a rookie at left tackle this week, as Terron Armstead is sidelined by a knee injury.
Selection: This is a play on the Philadelphia Eagles (8*)
