Saints 31, Eagles 17

This defeat of Philadelphia will not be as nailbiting as our previous game earlier this season. Garcia has had to just run out of brilliant performances to keep their playoff hopes afloat. The Saints have been pretty good about playing to the level of the competition this year and have deflated more than one team's confidence when they get a good streak going. Plus this being the Superdome's first divisional game after the luxury of a bye? Hell yeah. If the fans there aren't up for this one, then they never will be 8)

Statement game coming up on Saturday.
