Saints	-8 (-110)	-335	43 (-110)

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the money has moved this line in the Saints’ direction throughout the week. On Tuesday, the Eagles were a 6.5-point underdog but the line has since ballooned as kickoff approaches. Meanwhile, bettors haven’t been bullish on big offense this Sunday. The over/under has fallen from 45.5 all the way down to 43.

Saints vs. Eagles Betting Trends

We know what the Eagles have been with Carson Wentz under center this season (bad), but Jalen Hurts provides an entirely different variable this week. While the Eagles are an unknown in this situation, we do know quite a bit about this Saints squad.

The Saints have been dominant in recent seasons as a road favorite. Since the start of the 2015 regular season, the Saints are 14-5 ATS as a road favorite. They are also 4-1 ATS as a road favorite of more than seven points.

However, there are relevant trends that point to the Eagles as the smart pick. Not only will the public be heavily on New Orleans in this matchup, typically, bad teams at home are strong value plays against good teams late in the season.

For instance, road favorites that have won at least 80 percent of its games are just 8-15 ATS against opponents that have won less than 30 percent of its games when at least a 7.5-point favorite in November or later.

That being said, if you’re thinking about rolling with Philly, consider that home underdogs with a winning percentage of .300 or less that are on a four-game losing streak are an abysmal 3-14-1 ATS in December.

Over/Under Trends

In terms of the total, the under is 29-12 in games coached by Doug Pederson at Lincoln Financial Field. The Eagles have stayed under the total in six straight games, but that’s actually a bit concerning if you’re looking to ride the wave.

Of note, home teams on a six-game under streak have seen the over cash at a 17-6-1 rate (73.9%) since the 2003 season.

Saints vs. Eagles Prediction

I can construct an argument for taking the Eagles with the points this week. It looks like something like this:

• The Saints are due for a letdown.
• Jalen Hurts could jumpstart a lifeless offense.
• The Eagles defense competes at home.
• Nobody wants to bet on the Eagles, so this is a great fade the public opportunity.

But I’ve also watched this team play football all season, so it’s tough to lock it in.

That being said, I do think Hurts will help mitigate some of the offensive line issues, and I believe his presence will give this team a jolt. With the line sinking to 43 points, the number has reached the point where I think we’re getting some value. As noted above, teams that go on “under” streaks of six straight games are typically a good “over” play.

Saints vs. Eagles Pick

The lean here is to take the Eagles with the points, but I’m officially on the over. Of course, you can take the Eagles at 50-1 odds to score at least once with FOX Bet by clicking here.
