The New Orleans Saints are looking to avoid a third straight loss when they take on the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 11.

New Orleans lost 23-21 to the Tennessee Titans in Week 10. Quarterback Trevor Siemian went 19 of 34 for 298 yards with two touchdowns but was sacked four times, two of those times by Titans DL Jeffrey Simmons. Running back Mark Ingram led the team in rushing yards with 47 yards and had a rushing touchdown. Wide receiver Deonte Harris had the game’s lone turnover with a fumble in the third quarter.

The Eagles are flying high after their win over the Denver Broncos 30-13 in Denver. Quarterback Jalen Hurts had 178 passing yards on 16 of 23 with two touchdowns and an interception. The 2020 second-round pick also had 55 yards on the ground, including a run of 31 yards. Running backs Jordan Howard and Boston Scott ran for over 80 yards, combining for 164 yards rushing. Wide receiver DeVonte Smith was at the receiving end on both of Hurts’ touchdown passes.

Both teams are still in the playoff hunt in the NFC, and a win would increase their odds of making it.

New Orleans Saints vs. Philadelphia Eagles Prediction

In this game, a matchup to look out for is the Eagles rushing offense against the Saints rushing defense. The Eagles average the third-most rushing yards a game at 144.5 yards, while the Saints allowed the fewest rushing yards at 72.9. Trevor Siemian is without two starting OT’s but the Eagles have the fourth-lowest number of blitzes at 63. If DT Fletcher Cox, who leads the team with six sacks, gets into the backfield, it might be a long day for that Saints offensive line.

Prediction: The Eagles will win behind the play of their defense.
