Scouts' Edge
This should be a great game to watch on Saturday night. The Saints have been the Cinderella team of the NFL in 2006, while the Eagles have won six consecutive games. Look for Saints head coach Sean Payton to continue to rely on the pass to set up the run. Defensive coordinator Jim Johnson must find a way to slow this high-powered Saints' offense.

The key to the Eagles' success lately has been their ability to run the ball, taking pressure off QB Jeff Garcia. Saints' defensive coordinator Gary Gibbs will try to force the Eagles to be a one-dimensional team through the air. However, QB Drew Brees has been unbelievable and will be the difference, as the Saints will advance to the NFC Championship game next weekend.

Prediction: Saints 28, Eagles 24

Not that this is important at all who picks what before the game, but if you're going to take a stand, don't be a Bush Republican and label this the Saints Winning Announcement (like the Clear Skies Initiative or the No Child Left Behind Act) and the legislation actually have the Eagles winning.
