Eagles-Saints: Game time, how to watch and stream playoff match-up

With everyone else picking the Saints, Tony Dungy still thinks the Eagles and Nick Foles have what it takes to win.

The Eagles' unlikely playoff run continues this afternoon in New Orleans, where they’ll take on Drew Brees and the No. 1 seed Saints in the Superdome.

Most NFL experts don’t seem to be giving the Eagles much of a chance, and it’s hard to blame them, considering the Saints blew out the Birds, 48-7, back in November. Just one of our Eagles beat writers thinks the Birds will win, and every single NFL expert from both CBS and ESPN picked the heavily favored Saints to win Sunday.

But NFL analyst and former head coach Tony Dungy is still high on the Eagles, and was the only member of NBC’s crew to pick the Birds to upset the Saints on Football Night in America.

“That dome gets rocking. Sean Payton is going to come out offensively with quick rhythm, quick tempo, try to bury them early,” Dungy said. “But Philadelphia has to withstand that opening salvo. And I really believe, if they’re in the game after 10 minutes, watch out for the Eagles and Nick Foles.”

Dungy was a loyal Eagles backer during last year’s Super Bowl run, calling them a “team of destiny.” And last week, he picked the Eagles to upset the Bears in Soldier Field, which they did thanks to Cody Parkey’s miraculous “double doink” blocked field goal, which bounced off the uprights in the final seconds of the game.

“The only thing that worries me is if they beat Chicago, they’ll have two games against really top offensive firepower in New Orleans and Los Angeles, probably,” Dungy told the Inquirer and Daily News last week. “But they’ve already done it once in Los Angeles, so it’s not out of the realm of possibility.”
