NFL Wild-Card Weekend 2014 (Saturday Preview)

n3
New Orleans at Philadelphia
Time: 8:10 PM (ET)
Network: NBC

Today marks the first time this season, the Philadelphia Eagles and New Orleans Saints will face-off on the gridiron. Philly will be hosting their first playoff game since 2006 and will be looking to win the home upset today against Drew Brees and company.

Normally, we would pick Saints if they were at home (remained undefeated); but constant road struggles this year has plagued them in recent weeks, as they’ve lost their last 3 road games of the season. Philadelphia has been one of the hottest teams in the last two months, going 7-1 to cap off the year. Chip Kelly’s offense has really thrived this year, largely due in part to his chemistry with Nick Foles, DeSean Jackson and LeSean McCoy.

The Eagles were also struggling on defense (poorly), but in recent weeks have looked like a completely different team. Today, we expect a very entertaining game from the city of brotherly love; and those of you who haven’t been watching the Eagles this year due to local restriction should be in for a treat.

Picks:

MVP Eagles Chopz Eagles Legend Eagles

UPDATE: FINAL Saints 26 | Eagles 24
