00:00Meanwhile, great job by the New Orleans Saints.

00:05Very surprising start for them.

00:07Not just winning, but winning and blowing teams out.

00:09This week, they get the Philadelphia Eagles.

00:11It's been that kind of season, not just for the Eagles, but for everyone else.

00:14If you're a favorite in the NFL, beware, you're probably going down.

00:18This week, the Saints are two and a half point favorites, Vinny, as they take on Philadelphia.

00:23And the total is 49 and a half.

00:25And I think the odds, the reason why they are what they are here is because the Saints

00:30simply over the last two, three games, you know, even dating back to last year, Vinny,

00:34they did not show this at all.

00:37So I guess I would ask you, is what they've shown even close to legitimate, averaging

00:41like 45 points a game?

00:43Well, I think the Panthers game may not be a surprise because how bad that defense is.

00:48The Cowboys game was a surprise, but maybe the Cowboys defense is not what it was last

00:54year.

00:56The Eagles defense has stunk so far with Vic Fangio.

00:58They have a lot of trouble stopping the run, which the Saints have been doing at a smash

01:02level here with Alvin Kamara to start.

01:04That's what's happened here.

01:06The Saints have rediscovered play action.

01:08Kamara's running well.

01:09Derek Carr's been in uncomfortable situations.

01:12He's throwing downfield with confidence, Rasheed Shaheed, and Chris Hlawe.

01:17So this is going to be a very fun game to watch.

01:19There'll be a lot of points here.

01:20I think A.J.

01:21Brown not being on the other side.

01:23The Eagles are going to have to compensate for that, but I expect it to be a high scoring

01:26game.

01:27The best number I feel confident about here is that total.

01:30I think there's enough defensive lapses on both teams with these quarterbacks playing

01:35well that I think you'll see it go up, but I do actually like the Eagles than this one.

01:40I think this is a little bit of a gut check type game for the Saints to say, OK, how good

01:45are we at this point?

01:46But look at Jalen Hurts.

01:48I think he's the factor here that changes the game with his running ability, and I think

01:52we saw that become a big factor last week.
