Philadelphia Eagles at New Orleans Saints – Week 3: Odds & Analysis

The New Orleans Saints have been dominant through the first two weeks of the season. While one of those victories came against the Carolina Panthers, their Week 2 win over the Dallas Cowboys was a major statement.

Quarterback Derek Carr and running back Alvin Kamara have been electric to start the year, and even with limited contributions from star receiver Chris Olave, the Saints have managed to score over 80 points in just two games.

The Philadelphia Eagles, however, may provide the Saints with their toughest challenge yet. The addition of Saquon Barkley has been a game-changer for Philadelphia, and while their run defense has shown some vulnerabilities, the Eagles have enough offensive firepower to control the clock and stay competitive until the final whistle.

Analysis

Philadelphia will be eager to rebound after mismanaging the final moments of their Monday night loss.

While the Saints have been firing on all cylinders offensively, it feels like a course correction could be on the way.

Despite the absence of A.J. Brown, the Eagles are likely to learn from their Week 2 mistakes, and getting a field goal feels too generous for New Orleans.

The Eagles made some puzzling decisions that cost them the game last week, but this could be their opportunity for redemption.

The Saints‘ offense has been sharp, leading the league in scoring heading into Week 3, but Philadelphia might find this to be the perfect “get-right” game to recover from their Week 2 collapse.

 New Orleans is off to an historic start offensively, and playing at home under the dome, they’re poised to keep the momentum going—even against a talented Eagles team. Expect the Saints to maintain their high-scoring ways in this matchup.

The Saints’ offense has been unstoppable so far, and the Eagles’ defense looked shaky in the final minutes of their game against Atlanta. The Eagles likely won’t be able to contain Derek Carr, who could further cement himself as a potential 2024/25 Season MVP candidate in this matchup.
