Who plays quarterback for the New Orleans Saints in their next game? Taysom Hill, the backup who has won three in a row, or Drew Brees, who hopes to push the envelope and return from nearly a dozen broken ribs as soon as he’s allowed?

The Philadelphia Eagles’ situation isn’t settled, either; Eagles coach Doug Pederson has declined to name a starter after pulling Carson Wentz from Sunday’s frustrating loss to the Green Bay Packers, replacing Wentz with rookie draft pick Jalen Hurts. There’s a lot of moving parts here.

And even the oddsmakers at BetMGM Sportsbook aren’t too sure what to make of it. Their opening line has the Saints favored over Philly by seven points, but the over/under has not yet been posted. Hurts rallied the Eagles back to trail Green Bay 23-16 late in the game, but a long Packers touchdown run closed out the final score 30-16.

Maybe another spark from Hurts can close the gap against a Hill-led Saints offense, which has averaged 25.3 points per game since he was named the starter. But the Eagles will have their hands full putting up points of their own against a raucous Saints defense that has allowed just 8.8 points per game over the last five weeks.
