With a day to go before kickoff, four reported million-dollar bets have already been placed on Super Bowl LII -- all on the underdog Philadelphia Eagles.

I think the Eagles should win pretty easily.

I’m a Giants fan, and I have the two SB wins against Belichick and Brady to fall back on, so I don’t regard the Pats as unbeatable.

I think the Eagles have the right type of defense to contain Brady and the right type of offense to attack the Pats defense.

Eagles 27, Pats 17. Check back with me tomorrow.

Not quibbling, but the net profit would be around $700,000.00 after taxes. If Gov. Jerry Brown had his way, the net profit would be about $4.25.

Note to bettors: Bellichek cheats, and the League really doesn’t care.

More likely that four people know the fix is in for the Eagles.

Or maybe I’m just too cynical. We’ll see.

Bkmk. Pretty easily? When has it ever been pretty easy to beat Brady and Belichick in the Super Bowl?

I’m ambivalent on either team since I’m in L.A. but I think it’s a fools errand to bet against the percentages.

Patriots 24 Eagles 20

That seems right. You get the $1 mill back plus the $1.5 mill win amount.

Risk $100, take home $255.
