Two plays for the weekend. All plays worth the same in playoffs. Saints garbage on the road but playoffs is a different animal. Nick Foles has had the luxury of facing vanilla defenses all year long but Rob Ryan will be able to confuse him here. Already showcased my love for Rivers in the other matchup as well.

If they were underdogs I would have liked them a lot more but with everyone bashing NO's play on the road, a lot of people in addition to the whole city of Philadelphia is now expecting the Eagles to win this game. Lots of pressure for a young QB to overcome playing in front of thousands of fans. If Foles can win this game, he'll be the future QB for Philly.
There's no evidence to support this, in fact the evidence says the opposite.
Foles QBPR when blitzed...............125.1
Brees...............114.3
Foles ave per pass att when blitzed.....................10.73
Brees....................8.94
Foles TD to INT ratio......................6-1
Brees...................................5.5-1
Foles wins in every meaningful area.
In fact Foles is the only QB in the league with as many atts who HAS NOT thrown a INT when pressured.
Foles has the best TD to INT ratio in NFL history.
A site looked at every Foles pass and was astounded that none of his passes were drop balls that should of or could of been INT, so his incredible low INT rate is not because other teams missed INT oppurtunities.
