They can, but they have to score early and score often in order to take the crowd out of the game, and to get a good lead because the D will probably be tired by the 4th quarter and give up some points. It will be a tough game, but as pointed out, the Saints lost to the crappy Redskins at home.
The Eagles have the playoff experience, and the pressure is on the Saints. The Saints are more rested however.
Don't count on the emotional high to guarantee a win for the Saints. After the Eagles lost Jerome Brown in a car accident in the early 90s, they went to theplayoffs and there was basically a shrine to Brown at his locker in the away stadium (forget who they played). They won that game, took that emotional high and Brown's shrine to Dallas and got trounced.
If Horn is healthy, that will be tough on Eagles D because Sheppard is out and Hood will play. But, Horn is still nursing a hamstring so should be manageable (plus he's not a beast like Plaxico). If the O-line can open up holes for Westbrook, that will spell trouble for NO. Philly has to count on Jim Johnson making good calls and the D adjusting to the Saints offensive formations to bring the blitz to the weak side.
Garcia is a consistent QB, who does not choke and does not make crappy passes cause he has a linebacker in his face (unlike Eli). He has thrown sometihng like 150 (or more) passes with only 2 ITs, so he's not prone to making mistakes and that's what we need from him.
All the same, I'm keeping my fingers crossed cause it will be a tough game.

Im a bills fan so lets get any sort of bais out of the way. The Eagles will win if they can controll the running game on both sides of the ball (bit cliché) but its true the 'gles have the better rush O and D and with westbrook running between the the tackles the saints will have a tough time stoping them. the end though i think it will be saints 34 gles 32 last second field goal wins it. saints over chargers in the super bowl too.

I am a diehard steelers fan.. I am in fantasy and ahve 2 players from each team.. I know the games played in the Saints home which is the new america's team.. I believe the game will be close.. I went to the steelers and Saints game this year where pittsburgh won and it's totally possible for the Eagles to win the game.. should be tight throughtout, that's my prediction.

Yes.Eagles are a better playoff team, they've been to the NFC championship game so many times in the past 5 years. So Eagles have the edge. Saints lost to Redskins recently at home. So anything can happen.

It's NFL, sure the Eagles can win. The Saints aren't unstoppable by any means. The Saints i believe have only won 1 playoff game in the franchise's history. It should be close, the Eagles are a good team, if they weren't they wouldn't be in the playoffs.

I like both teams...I'd like to see the Saints win a play-off (finally)...but I think the eagles will pull all the tricks out of the hat and keep it close/win!

It's not going to be a blow out but the Saints will win. Jeff Garcia is a good quarterback but he's not Jesus Christ. He will make mistakes. He'll throw a couple of key interceptions that will lead to New Orlenas points. I'm calling a 17-7 win for the Saints.
