The Eagles-Saints point spread isn't the largest a defending Super Bowl has seen in the last 25 years, but it's close.
That distinction belongs to the 1995 49ers, who were a 13.5-point underdogs when they went to Dallas for their then-annual brawl. San Fran was without Steve Young (shoulder) and had dropped two in a row.
This was at the height of the Niners-Cowboys rivalry of the 1990s, Naturally, Elvis Grbac led the 49ers, 5-4 entering the game, to a stunning 38-20 outright win.
That game, like the Eagles pending visit to New Orleans, also was in Week 11.
