I'm not saying they're going to win. I agree with your last line. If NE concede a lead like with Jacksonville, the Eagles are going to finish them off.

The Vikings contributed to there own downfall, two turn overs and a failed fourth down, which the Eagles scored points off, but for those errors it might have been a close game, rather than a blow out.

Jags also made mistakes giving the Pats extra momentum on drives by giving up chunks of yardage with silly penalties, give Brady an inch and he will kill you, and as per usual the defence turned up when it needed to.

A majority of the Patriots' players and coaches have Super Bowl experience, whereas the only Eagles I know of who have that experience are DL Chris Long, who was with the Pats last season, and OC Frank Reich, former Bills QB. I think that had a bit to do with the epic comeback in last SB LI.

I have a little display on a shelf of the current champions in the NFL, CFL, Arena League and MLB. So right now it's the Patriots, Toronto Argonauts, Philadelphia Soul and Houston Astros. I've had a Patriots helmet out a lot over the past few years and I'm tired of looking at it.

I don't think that I've gone first in one of these things all season, so here goes:

SUPER BOWL LII
Sun, 2/4
Philadelphia Eagles

Total points: 48.5

Good luck gentlemen!

Hope I did this right. BTW, my mom is hanging in there. Still in very serious condition and still in the ICU, but making tiny amounts of progress.

ultimatewarlord can jump for joy, but they still have to play the game. Anything can happen and Gronk is still in the concussion protocol.

New England have been in so many SB in recent years, and won most of them, that I can't enjoy them losing anymore. The losses to the Giants was fun, because everyone kept going on about them despite a drought starting to generate. But that's been ruined now.

Even if they lose this weekend. They're likely to make it next year and win. Therefore diluting the happiness of seeing them lose previously.

My SB pick?

I don't care!
