What has a greater chance of surviving the next two weeks? The Resident or the lightpoles in Philadelphia?
Hey guys, guys listen, I had one teaser with the Pats and over 33 in this game and another with the Pats and under 45.5. Middled and won them both $$$!
26-33, 144 rating against a good defense. That's an all-time shocking and shit kicking performance right there.
Bortles torched the Steelers for 45 in their building. Where did that get him?
I was at the opening game of the LINC when NE beat PHI. The fans were entirely enabled by security who took the approach of basically, don't wear opposing team's gear in PHI. Fuck the entirety of that city.
I was worried about MN having a home game for the SB but PHI travels probably better than any other city for being as mediocre as they have been. I"ll be surprised if it isn't at least 75/25 PHI in two weeks.

That assumes they can access the internet. And read!
(just so you know, I have family members who are diehard Eagles fans and they are very literate).
As it gets closer to game time it should move more toward 50/50 as the Eagles fans get carted off to local holding cells.
I'm from Philly but live in RI and the wife is a Patriots fan. It's going to be a lot of fun.
Yup. The three days I spent in Jacksonville were basically an exercise in trying to avoid marauding gangs of drunk Eagle fans.This is just today:
Did Chris Long just say during the post-game that most teams fold their tents after getting down by 7? 
Did anyone else hear it?
Edit: God I'm an idiot. I simply hit "rewind" and VOILA. He DID say that. "We got down by 7 early. Most teams would have folded their tents but not us."
Guess the Super Bowl is gonna be the full 60 minutes then.

Well, if the Pats fall behind early in this one, I guess instead of leaving, Marky Mark can just put on his Papale jersey and start rooting for the Eagles.
The eagles quarterback coaches are the best in the league and the pass rush is as good as anyone's.
It's gonna be a good game, it's gonna be a lot of short passes over and over for the pats.
Also this team has 20/22 starters locked up for next year, and no Wentz (or Peters or Hicks or sproles or Hicks backup ) so I think the pats win but the eagles window is opening.
It reminds me a little of the pats Rams

I expect that to move into the low teens after Foles is killed in the post-game victory riot.
Agreed with all this. Win or lose, the Eagles look like a team with a great chance to be back in this game again in the next few years.
Congrats on the win and good to see you back on the site.
My wife & I spent a day in Philly about a decade ago. People in the city were fucking awesome. Extremely helpful and polite. Stadium for the Phillies game? Assholism runs rampant. They were brutal.
Yeah, boss at a law firm I summered at in Philly gave me tickets to go to a Phillies-Red Sox interleague day game and it was one of those things where you kinda feel like you’re going to get jumped at any given moment.
The path should be favored but let's make no mistake that this is a good Eagles team. If once is healthy they would be favored. I believe that. And that's no disrespect to the Patriots. I think that this will be a 10-point win one way or the other and I couldn't tell you which way it's going to be
Brady/Bill have never won nor lost by more than 7 in the SB, why would this year be different?
Wentz isn’t worth >7 points. You’re also ignoring Edelman, Hightower, Cannon if we’re adding in injured players. The eagles are a good young team with a nice story, but they are significant underdogs and they should be.
If NE was 7.5 over JAX at home (didn't cover) what is the basis for them being 7+ pt favorites in a neutral location?
Genuinely curious as to how that happens. By most advanced stats PHI is superior to JAX.
They're not 7 point favorites.
Perhaps Vegas gives Pats a bump because they have guys that have been there before? Maybe they don't really trust Foles? I don't know. I do know Vegas builds huge ass casinos and basically knows what they are doing.
