The New Orleans Saints and their fans have been obsessed with righting the wrong of their highly controversial loss in the NFC championship game last year. New Orleans will be facing a Minnesota Vikings team that did much to redeem itself with the NFL Odds after flopping in 2018. The Philadelphia Eagles are the default champions of the NFC “Least.” They will be facing the dangerous Seattle Seahawks that could have and likely should have won the NFC West if not for too many defensive lapses on the year. Let’s take a look at NFL Wild Card Sunday!

Seattle Seahawks vs. Philadelphia Eagles Odds Overview
The Seahawks are seen by the public as a viable road team that would have easily won the NFC East. Philadelphia is not seen on the same level as Seattle and as something of a pretender from the NFL’s worst division.
