Who to Bet on Saints at Eagles
According to the top sportsbooks across the entire country, the Philadelphia Eagles are favored at home by under a field goal. Trevor Siemian has been doing well at not turning the ball over as he has five touchdowns without an interception in his three games since Jameis Winston suffered a torn ACL, so not turning the ball over is critical.
New Orleans is allowing 21.8 points in their previous four games, while Philadelphia is giving up 21.4 points per game in their last five games.
The Saints have covered in each of their last four games following a straight-up loss, while the Eagles are 1-5 against the spread in their last six games as a home favorite.
All in all, go with the New Orleans Saints to cover the spread getting a couple of points on the road.
