Using the points for and points against stats for the season.
the Saints have only a one point better average than the Eagles.
When you discard the best game and the worst game for each team then the season average for the Saints is 25.35 points for and 19.6 points against leaving a difference of +5.75 and an average of 25.4 for and 20.9 against for the Eagles leaving a difference of +4.5. that leaves a seasons average difference of 1.25 points in favor of the Saints. This does not include home field advantage. but it does include the Eagles playoff game against the Giants.
Hopefully it means nothing but I was surprised to see how close the raw scores are.

Go Saints
