It's the middle of the season, the Saints are heading into another week with a backup quarterback, and they now travel to Philadelphia to face a Jalen Hurts-led Eagles squad.
It's almost as if we've been here before (because we have, with the same storyline playing out last season).
But what should we expect from all the matchups headed to WWL radio this week? Audacy NFL Insider Eliot Shorr-Parks joins WWL Digital Sports Producer Jeff Nowak for this week's fall football preview, sponsored by the Louisiana Office of Tourism.
SAINTS (5-4, 2nd NFC South) at EAGLES (4-6, 2nd NFC East)
Where: Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
When: Noon, Sunday, Nov. 21
TV: FOX
Listen: WWL AM-870, FM-105.3
SHORR-PARKS' TAKE: "Jalen [Hurts] is coming off his best game, probably of his career. ... The big story here is, 'is he going to be the quarterback next year?' But I think from a Saints perspective, you're getting the Eagles at the best they've been all season."

SHORR-PARKS' TAKE: "The Falcons have been competitive this year ... they're in most games they play. They've had some close losses. ... If I had to pick what the best bet is, I'm going to take the Falcons with the points (Falcons +6.5).

SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
━━━━
STEELERS (5-3, 2nd AFC North) at CHARGERS (5-4, 2nd AFC West)
Where: SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, California
When: 7:20 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 21
TV: NBC
Listen: WWL AM-870; FM-105.3
SHORR-PARKS' TAKE: "They're tough teams to gauge. ... Looking at this matchup in primetime, I would have to lean Chargers because they have, obviously the better quarterback, but they have better position players now. The Steelers really don't, outside of Najee Harris, have those weapons you really have to worry about anymore."

MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
━━━━
GIANTS (3-6, 4th NFC East) at BUCS (6-3, 1st NFC South)
Where: Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, Florida
When: 7:15 p.m., Monday, Nov. 22
TV: ESPN
Listen: WWL AM-870; FM 105.3
SHORR-PARKS' TAKE: "I think the Giants are one of the worst teams in the league. ... Maybe I'm still jaded on that. I look at Joe Judge, I look at Daniel Jones. I see them all the time, trust me. They are competitive at points, and I understand 10.5 points is a lot of points. ... There is no way [Tom Brady] in prime time is not gonna have a big game. ... I just don't think the Giants have the offensive play to stick with Tampa Bay if Tampa Bay is playing well, and I can't imagine that Tampa Bay is going to play two bad games in a row."
