The media loves the Pats, Cowboys, Packers, NY teams, and Payton Manning, and that’s about it. The Eagles mmy generate some interest, but they are generally lumped in with the rest of the league. And the fans get template reporting. Blah blah blab Santa Claus yadda yadda yadda boo McNabb at the draft and repeat. And then the general public buys into the cliche. It’s a bore.
I do think the Saints might lose, but they'll lose to the weather, not the Eagles.
