You have to fade the Saints with Brees on the road in cold weather. Even with all that power on offense (expect Jimmy Graham to give Mychal Kendricks and his buddies a torrid time) the Saints' superlative slinger just doesn't thrive when the mercury drops below 40 degrees and it's currently 27.
The Eagles have really gathered momentum coming into this game, although they seemed to lose concentration last week and Rob Ryan will have noted the pressure that was brought to bear on Nick Foles. Interestingly, it doesn't pay to play all out blitz too much against Foles, who has a 125 passer rating against the blitz, and with the peerless LeSean McCoy running and catching out of the backfield, Ryan will need to be at his devilish best to out-scheme this offense.
Pick: Philadelphia Eagles -3 @ 1.91
Pick: 1st TD LeSean McCoy @ 8
Pick: Anytime TD Riley Cooper @ 2.2
