For the Eagles to win, they need to establish ball control and keep the New Orleans offense off the field. Philadelphia's defense may be decent, but if the Giants could give them trouble, I expect the Saints offense would shred them without mercy. Also, the Eagles need to get a strong lead in the game early and maintain it. This removes the crowd from the game, which will be crucial in a dome game in New Orleans.
Philly's defense cannot do much to completely suppress the offense, so their best bet it to rush strong on the first coupe of downs and force third and long situations. If the Saints spread the field, Philly can pull out a linebacker blitz or move into a zone defense with a heavy secondary presence to minimize throwing options for Brees. If you can keep the Saints to several three-and-out scenarios during the game, they can't score and gives Philly the chance to get enough points to win.
But that won't happen.

The Eagles will have to force the Saints to 3&outs. If Westbrook dominates the game like he has done for the past 5-6 weeks, the eagles will prevail in the end, 23-20.

They will need a good solid, error-free game from Garcia and Westbrook. Then, their defense will have to get about 1-2 turnovers off of the Saints' offense.

Time-Clock Management and The Eagles Offensive line to play in sync all game long. Oh and Westbrook running for positive yard (North-South style).
GO EAGLES!

Garcia is probably going to need 250+ yards and 3 TD's. That and take Reggie Bush out of the game.

an almost flawless game all around. they have to stop the run and have a few inteceptions that result in points. garcia has to make smart decisions, and i think they need to score early. i am hoping for a win!

they need to shut down brees and slow down the offense and garcia really needs to have a good day and put up a 300 yard 2 touchdown game
