**The Official Super Bowl Thread - Patriots vs. Eagles**

Eagles

 

Patriots

 

Patriots 31
Eagles 17

MVP- Tom Brady

McNabb will throw 4 picks.

 

Here in Vegas everybody is trying to come up with an angle on how to bet the SB.
Somebody said go with the eagles because black QB's are 2-0 against the spread in SB's.
but Tom Brady is 2-0 straight up in SB's. So a middle is possible.

I'm betting on a score in the last 2 minutes of each half.

 

Both games the patriots could have and should have lost.

Carolinas Kicker messed up and gave them a chance. I would bet the Eagles to beat the spread. Everyone is making Patriots to be this all and mighty team when in reality in both Superbowls they came down to the end of the game and had to get a lucky break to win the game with a field goal.

There is no way this game is a blowout and i wouldn't be surprised if the eagles won the game.

The patriots have not faced the eagles defense this year and they will not be as prepared as we think to face it. If the Patriots do win which i doubt they will win by less than 7. Most likely another field goal.

 

So i played the Alberta "pro line"...you gotta make 3 picks and get them all right to win the money.

in basketball a tie is anything within 5 points and football withiin 3 points.

my picks:

Houston @ Minnesota -- houston to win 2.9
NY Knicks @ Sacramento -- tie 4.25
New England @ Philly -- philly to win 3.6

i paid $5 for the ticket.

5 x 2.9 x 4.25 x 3.6 = $221.85 potential prize.

Must win all three to get the prize.

------------------

I really really really hope the Eagles pull it off. And i'll be really really really pissed if they only win by 3.

side note: i was sweatin balls at the end of the rockets game.

 

i want the eagles to win, but the pats should take care of this game very easily.

MVP - Troy Brown.

Anyone doing any of those wacky prop bets? i.e. "Who will have more on - Lakers/Rockets combined score vs. Tom Brady's passing yards?"

The Stealers defense was even better than the Igles and the Patriots ripped them. The Pats have beaten two teams that pose more problems than the Igles just to get to the superbowl--and beat those them handidly. Too much balance in the Pats offense and too much depth and strength in both trenches. They will wear the Igles out.

Pats to cover, like 27-17, if the Igles get off to a good start. Could get uglier (38-13?) if the Igles get off to a bad start. Pats to cover the bet.

 

I want the Eagles to win, but I just don't think they can beat the Pats right now.

 

I think everyone is making the Patriots out to be an all mighty team based on their last two games rather than just the two previous superbowls. Most people that I talked to were hyping up Indianapolis and Pittsburgh until New England ripped out their guts and showed it to them. As for myself, those two games are also the reason why I think the Pats win it. I don't really care one way or another, I just hope the game is exciting.

 

I think the Pats will win it 38-10.

 

Go Eagles!!
