The Philadelphia Eagles have a huge advantage over the New Orleans Saints before the game even kicks off, only further helping them clinch the number one seed.
The Eagles are 13-2, and while it may not seem like it, this is a must-win game. They lose, and there is a chance they won't have a home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.
They win, and they host every game until the Super Bowl. That is what is on the line.
The advantage the Eagles have lies all in the decisions made by the Saints early Sunday morning on who will play and who won't.
So far we already know that Saints' safety Marcus Maye is out and dealing with a shoulder injury. But, that may not be the only guy out.
Marshon Lattimore has been hurt all season, and he is questionable for the Saints. That would be two of their main secondary guys out against a team in the Eagles that loves to go deep.
Pete Werner, the Saints' second-best linebacker, is also questionable. Werner has been good in coverage at times this year, so that will also be a huge decision for them.
And of course, rookie sensation Chris Olave is also questionable, which definitely won't make scoring points any easier.
The Saints will have it tough against the Eagles when it comes to injuries, just like they have all season long. That is why the Eagles have an advantage on Sunday.
