Now, New Orleans takes on a Philadelphia defense that's loaded with talent but has underachieved in their results. The Eagles rank 27th in points allowed and 30th in total yardage. It's still early, but it's also been a steep drop from two years ago when the Eagles were near the top of the NFL in nearly every defensive category.

In 65 seconds, the narrative changed. So, for that matter, did the point spread. The Eagles were favorites to win in New Orleans before they blew their game against the Falcons even though the Saints won so impressively against the Cowboys the day before. Now the Saints are a 2 1/2-point favorite.
