The Eagles have had their share of ups and downs this season. While they have endured tough losses against teams like the Falcons and Lions, the Eagles also have quality wins against teams like the Packers and Bills. The Eagles have plenty of talent on their roster, but they have spent most of the season trying to figure out how to get something out of it. I think this game will be dictated by the run game of Jordan Howard and Miles Sanders. I love Carson Wentz, but I’m not a fan of who he’s tossing to. The Eagles’ defense has to be formidable and strong from the start. If the Eagles aren’t potent for all 60 minutes, they won’t win this game. The Patriots can make some mistakes and emerge victorious; the Eagles can’t. I think the Eagles can hold their own for a while, but not for a full 60 minutes. The Patriots will find some avenue to exploit the Eagles’ defense.
Eagles: 20
Patriots: 29
