Week 3 picks: Who are the NFL experts taking in Eagles at Saints
We’re just hours away from the Eagles departing Philadelphia for New Orleans, where they’ll take on the red-hot Saints on Sunday.
The Birds will be without A.J. Brown, who is nursing a hamstring injury, while C.J. Gardner-Johnson will be a game-time decision.
The NFL experts have made their Week 3 picks, and the majority are picking New Orleans at home.

Pete Prisco at CBS Sports is picking the Saints.
The Eagles should be rolling in at 2-0, but coach Nick Sirianni cost them Monday’s game with the Falcons with a bad decision late. The biggest problem, though, is the defense. They have been awful against the run, while the Saints have been good running it. Look for the Saints to get to 3-0 behind their run game.
