The New Orleans Saints (1-3) will ride on the momentum of their first win of the season as they visit struggling squad Philadelphia Eagles (1-3) at the Lincoln Financial Field on October 11, Sunday for a Week 5 NFL 2015 season matchup.
New Orleans pulled off a tough 26-20 overtime win over the Dallas Cowboys at home last Sunday to give head coach Sean Payton his first taste of victory this season, as per Bleacher Report.
Quarterback Drew Brees hit running back C.J. Spiller for the winning touchdown in overtime to send the Cowboys reeling to a second straight defeat.
Meanwhile, the Eagles can't seem to find their rhythm this season with only a win to show in four games so far.
Their last one was a close 23-20 loss to the Washington Redskins last Sunday at the FedEx Field, where they let the game slip away in the final 26 seconds, via Fansided.
Sam Bradford was excellent in the game, going 15-of-28 for 270 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions, but was sacked five times for a QBR of 61.8.
The defense failed Philadelphia in the dying seconds, though, as they allowed Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins to execute the winning touchdown.
The Eagles are currently winless at home this season, but they are expected to bounce back in this game against Washington.
Prediction: Eagles win, 24-21.
