Going back and forth between the Saints and Raiders D. I just see too many handoffs and dumpoffs to westy for the saints D to get many points.anyone thinking of running out the Saints DEF this week??They could get up early and force Kolb to pass......which might be his weakness...

nope, but I am considering Kolb what does the saints D have that you can rely on them or that will hold down an offense filled with playmakers? I expect a heavy dose of Westbrook & maybe even McCoy (if they can keep Saints O off field). Andy Reid has an entire week to create a package for Kolb's strengths. Kolb gets a week of prep. I don't know that we can immediately assume Kolb will be a train wreck based off such a limited sample size. The Eagles line is shuffling around (Giles to start ahead of Stacey), but New Orleans doesn't have that great of a pass rush. Who exactly is Gregg Williams gonna bring in blitzes. Not to mention, screens to Westbrook make it difficult to constantly blitz the Eagles not to mention Celek sneaking out there.

McNabb is listed as doubtful.
I wouldn't play the Saints over a good D. I might play them if they were part of a DTBC and your other options had mediocre to bad matchups.

The Saints weren't a good play last week v. Detroit - over 20 pts in most leagues is 0 or negative points, offsetting their sacks and turnovers.
So if Kolb is at least as good as Stafford (not saying much there), Westbrook >> K Smith, Desean/Celek/whoever are not that worse than Megatron & who?/wat?...I don't get it. Is Sharper that much of a difference maker for NOLA?

I think the Eagles will play well and win the game. Detroit put up 27 last week its not like the Saints D was anyting special last week and that was at home vs a worse team. I also think the Eagle D will play extremely well and turn Brees over a couple times and create short fields. I wouldn't go anywhere near the Saints D today.
