Super Bowl LII Thread

[noledog]

* I got a Super Bowl event to perform at, then eat & watch the game > /$$$ /free food, /watch game on a huge screen!

** Only thing better for me personally would be the Jags playin', better tips BUT, since that's old news, I'll stay AFC all the way with a Pats victory! ...again

After consuming pretty much every minute of the playoffs, I just don't have a feeling for the Super Bowl. Part of me can't even believe Philadelphia is in it.

Gronk just cleared concussion protocol today. I think we all expected this but those hits to the head can linger.

Anyone recognize this guy?

Top to bottom the Eagles have the superior roster. If Foles is decent, they don't make mistakes, play the full 60 minutes, make adjustments as the game progresses, then they should win.

Yeah, that will all happen:

Pats 27 Eagles 21.

Pats will struggle the first half and will go into halftime at least 10 points behind. Adjustments will be made, and Pats will close the gap early in the third quarter, and blowout on the fourth. Eagles will not score a td on the second half and will settle with two or so field goals.

Pats 34
Eagles 17

Giveaways and takeaways....Pats will force more turnovers. The Eagles have the touted *D*, but the stats show the two teams being very much the same, except in run *D*...Brady will be dumping passes on both sides of the line to his two tight end sets. This will be a field goal fest...unless the Pats special teams fumble a kick or two

Wow, no confidence in the Eagles! And that’s why they play the game.

Dunno, he was pretty air-headed before all the pro concussions, so who knows how many he took before the NFL?

Close, except, what will happen in the second half is that the Eagles will mysteriously get penalties against them while playing prevent offense, hurting their chance to score, or even overturning a touchdown. Brady and Co. are the masters of drawing the pass interference, and they'll use that to get to the end zone.

The ace in the hole for the Eagles will be Ajayi, if he can break out, the Eagles have a chance.

Patriots have never scored in the first quarter of any of their Super Bowls. That's hard to believe. Streak will be broken on Sunday.

..and the refs will mysteriously inject helium into the Patriots foot balls. We will call it "Elevate-gate."

Anyone watch "The Two Bills"?

It was great.
