In the stat graphic below, picturing the Eagles' season, the explosive performance graphic shows the Eagles lost 4 of their 5 weakest contests. If they live up to their average standout season on offense they could carry the day. Yds Gained per Play Philadelphia Eagles 2006 through Week 17 Yds Allowed/Opp Play New Orleans Saints 2006 through Week 17 By comparison the Saints' D performance varies around the league average (light blue line) with half their games above and half below. Performance counts. The Eagles have an 8-point advantage on this one Killer Stat. With the Saints on offense they face an Eagle pass D which may be suffering from a case of walking wounded. And the Saints have the people to threaten the vaunted Eagle defense. Note Saints rank 3rd on yards per play (see top graphic). Yds Gained per Play New Orleans Saints 2006 through Week 17 Yds Allowed/Opp Play Philadelphia Eagles 2006 through Week 17 Fourteen of 15 Saint receivers earn strong yards per completion figures: Reggie Bush led the crew with 88 catches and an 8.4 average with the following in order: Colson, 70 catches at 14.8 yards per catch, Henderson, 32 for a phenom 23 yards and Joe Horn (if he plays) 30 more completions for a fab 18.4. This will be one great game. On balance, the electronic hardware projects the home team Saints, but only by 2. Bud Goode Copyright 2007, BudGoodeSports.com. All rights reserved.
