Monday Night Football Betting Preview: Philadelphia Eagles vs. New Orleans Saints

Date/Time: Mon, Nov 5 / 08:11:00 PM ET, Mercedes-Benz Superdome, New Orleans, LA

New Orleans QB Drew Brees has the weight of an entire team on his shoulders. He’s pretty much become a one-man show for his New Orleans Saints, much to the sadness of sports bettors  and Saints fans. It’s a team that has a defensive line with way too many holes in it, a barely-there running game, and the all-too-fresh bounty scandal to contend with.

Tonight, he’ll face off against Michael Vick and his struggling Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles, who have lost three straight games, will enter this game as 3 point underdogs according to the latest Lines for NFL.

So far this season, Vick has turned it over an astonishing 13 times, including eight interceptions and five fumbles. His performance—not to mention Philadelphia’s 3-4 record—has scores of fans calling for Vick’s replacement.

The Eagles started off the season with three wins in their first four games. But then a dismal defense let go of leads in matchups against Pittsburgh and Detroit. Unfortunately for the Eagles, the defense isn’t their only problem. Philadelphia ranks 28^th in the league in scoring, with an average 17.1 measly points per game.

The Saints, on the other hand, don’t have a problem scoring. They’re 6^th in the NFL with a 27.1-point average. Football followers will know that aside from their 34-14 loss last week to the Denver Broncos, the Saints got at least 24 points on the board in every game this season.

And what about their defense? Nothing but horrible. They’re the first team since 1950 to surrender more than 400 yards in seven consecutive games. They’re more than 200 yards worse than the NFL leading San Francisco 49ers, with 271.4. And they’re not even close to the Buffalo Bills, who are ranked 31^st with 424.1.

And without coordinator Gregg Williams—who was banished for his big role in the bounty scandal—their defense has pretty much collapsed. New Orleans also ranks dead last in the NFL in rushing, with 72.6 yards.

Game Odds:
Philadelphia Eagles: +3-115, ML +130
New Orleans Saints: -3-105, ML -150
Game Total: 52, o/u -110
