--------------------Welcome to the live blog of the Eagles vs. Saints------------------------

The Philadelphia Eagles travel down south to face the New Orleans Saints in a NFC showdown of two of the NFL's disappointing teams of 2012.

The Eagles were not supposed to be this bad. There was a lot of hype surrounding this team prior to the beginning of the season. Last season they were full of talent and this season they came with a lot of expectations. 

They started the season on a roll and then have gone 1-4 in their last five games. 

As for the Saints, they have not been able to stop opponents' offenses and usually get caught in shootouts they are unable to come back from. 

Drew Brees still has it at the quarterback position as he has thrown 20 touchdowns this season

I made a prediction earlier, which now I take back. After further thinking, there is no way I think the Eagles could hold the Saints to just 21 points. This wone will go down 35-31 in favor of the Eagles. 

First thing we will give you in this live blog is the injury report for both squads today.
