Eagles are the new dynasty of the NFL. They need a new team after Patriots dynasty about to end as Brady days are numbered. Last year SB was the passing of the torch when they beat the Patriots. Same story as last year here but a bit different cast. I expect the Superbowl will be Chargers vs Eagles (a SB with two wildcard teams) or Chiefs vs Eagles.
I'll take the Eagles here whatever the spread is. I feel they win outright.
1. Saints are decent but not a super team. It's basically Brees and only 3 skill players that can do damage and make the biggest impact plays. Ingram, Kamara, and Thomas. Defensive front is really good but I don't really trust their secondary. Also feel that the Saints have already reached their peak during around week 8 to week 12. During that stretch they looked like a super team. Impressive wins vs Rams and Eagles. They were just outscoring everybody and running up scores. Brees was slicing and dicing defenses and every time they drove down the field you just knew they would score. Since the Cowboys loss, offense hasn't been clicking like it was during that stretch. More clock control and stalled drives and had to rely on their defense to make plays in some games down the stretch. While Eagles have momentum and are peaking at the right time. How the Saints looked vs Cowboys, Bucs, Panthers in final few weeks I think Eagles can take them. Defense been playing good enough to make me think they keep them in this game and then steal it in the end somehow. They have been disciplined and not been giving away many penalties which is also a good sign.
2. Foles has more weapons than Brees and he spreads the ball around and gets everyone involved. That makes their offense more dynamic. Eagles O-line is legit. Johnson and Peters have stepped up big since Foles came in. Line been doing a good job of protecting Foles and I think they will be good enough to give him enough time to make some plays downfield. Even short/intermediate passing game Foles showed he is very capable. Foles even has more weapons than he had last year with Tate and Goeddert - both them scored TD's against the Bears. On defense secondary is a bit of a concern, but core of the SB winning team is still there - Jenkins, Cox, Graham, Lane Johnson, Kelce, Big V, Alshon, Ertz, Agholor. Plus they added Bennett another monster that adds more exp. as well. This rejuvinated team with that much talent can beat the Saints.
3. The earlier game that Saints won vs Eagles was with a different qb. It was a meltdown by Wentz also. Won't happen here with Foles.
I believe Wentz is not even injured and could play. I think Doug P knows this team is better with the clutch veteran Foles and is bringing him in as the closer. It's clear by now when you see the comparison on how they look on offense Foles is a better fit and gives them a better chance to win in the postseason. This Eagles offense was never stagnant. It was Wentz who made them like that. The roster has too much talent. The deep threat was always there. Alshon. Wentz was only looking for Ertz and was holding on to the ball too long. Had terrible pocket awareness and made costly mistakes. Also they possibly rushed him back from injury.
Strangest part is, I live in Pennsylvania, am 1 hour away from Philly, everybody I know believes in the Eagles except for me. Do you want to know why? 
Party is over Eagles fans, it was a good run this year but you already had your big win from last year..
