Philadelphia Eagles (4-5) at New Orleans Saints (8-1), 4:25pm EST

Carolina fans keep hoping someone will knock off the Saints but it may be left up to them, with two games over the final three weeks of the season. Playing at home, the Saints are always tough and Philadelphia has lost four of their last six.

If the Eagles can pull off the upset then they too would jump-start a push from the middle of the pack back into the playoff race, but a loss leaves them too far behind to likely catch up. As the defending Super Bowl champions, missing the playoffs and losing an opportunity to defend the title would be disappointing.
