Join SportsLine now to see which team you should back and what statistical trend nobody is talking about will determine the point-spread winner of Eagles-Patriots, all from the man who finished in the top 1 percent of the nation's top handicapping tournament. The Patriots aren't as good by comparison. I believe he's a different guy than when we saw him with Chip Kelly or Jeff Fisher - the evidence of which was on display when he destroyed the Vikings' amazing defense. Which leads me to Nick Foles, who I am comfortable calling a good quarterback given the protection his offensive line will give him and the scheme he's in. If Philadelphia has the chance to convert a short fourth down or grind down the clock by passing, I think they'll do it. Those teams' mistakes involved being conservative, something I just don't think the Eagles will be. Naturally, Brady overcame these issues by the time the fourth quarter came around against the Falcons and Jaguars. I believe in the Eagles pass rush and think they'll be a problem for Brady. Tom Brady hasn't quite been immune to this, dealing with pass rush in his losses against the Giants as well as the first half of his playoff games against the Falcons and Jaguars. I've learned through the years that pass rush is a humongous factor in the playoffs, and especially the Super Bowl. In the end, Stephen Gostkowski wins the game on a late field goal.Ĭheck out Jamey Eisenberg's DFS plays for Super Bowl Sunday right here. The Patriots have Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, and that duo gives the Patriots the edge.
