I do believe we are finally Destiny this year
The foundational goodness that Carson Wentz brought I believe is the key

It foolishness.

I’m not a Patriots fan, but Brady can run a 2-minute touchdown for the win, like clockwork. He’s done it over an over, and over.

Just like last week, and last year’s super bowl.

I see the Eagles losing, but I’m happy for them to win their Division.

The Eagles did very well for themselves this year. Their fans should enjoy their season.

I just would not be comfortable betting against Brady. He’s too good, too focused. He’ll run 85 yards for the go-ahead touchdown like clockwork. He does it over and over.

It is an improved version of the “K-gun” that Buffalo ran to devastating effect. He’s got the play(s) in his head, and they run various versions. Mix and match for the win.

If the two teams that played on Sunday show up for the Super Bowl, it’s Eagles by two touchdowns......

Not even close. You are underestimating the Jags defense and overestimating the Eagles. Brady will carve up the Eagles and get his sixth ring.

It’s estimated 4.7 billion is bet on the super bowl. Ten million doesn’t mean a thing in the bigger sense. As to the spread, once set it cannot move very much, or the odds makers could lose both ways when late money comes in, which has happened.

The Philly fans refer to Wentz as “the Ginger Jesus”. He is a humble and very religious guy. I remember watching him on the John Gruden show where Gruden had all the top college quarterbacks to his place and put them through their paces on the field and in his office on the chalkboard. Being a lifelong Eagles fan, I was sort of hoping they would end up drafting him. Nick Foles is also a religious guy as are some of the other team members. I will be watching the game but not the extraneous pap like the halftime show or the pre-game garbage.

What could possibly BE more patriotic than to have the Patriots and the Eagles playing in the Super Bowl?

Lol, “we”? You mean the team you root for, “you” have absolutely zero influence on the game. Don’t kid yourself, they play for money, not for the fans.

Along with being a better team than Jacksonville who by the way barely got beat in Foxboro, the Eagles have a better pass rush than the Jags, and one of the few things that rattles Brady is pressure.

Sounds good but it won’t happen. Patriots for the win this time too.

Dink and dunk...3-5 yard run...dink and dunk...midrange pass...pass interference...repeat x2 or 3 times
....fg or td...if one score difference...usually team with ball last will win..
Nfl football is officially a bore...players play for next year contract...too much permanent physical injury at risk...big bets can corrupt...suppose patriots bet against themselves to reap huge return?

Correction, he will throw for 85 yards. Tom does no run much. Probably the one stat he does not even come close being at the top for his career.

Every one of his winning superbowls have been fourth quarter comebacks or game winning drives.

I didn’t mean run himself but run a set of plays that march 85 yards for the game-winning score.

Look at how many times he’s done this. It’s almost like he toying with the other team...they think they have a chance to win if they can hold them off. Then Brady comes on the field, and those dreams collapse in six or seven plays for the win.

He’s not as elegant of a player as Joe Montana to Jerry Rice were. But you have to admit that he is the best QB ever to play the game. He’s almost 41 and still plays like he’s 30.
