Super Bowl Prediction

Not much of a surprise here, but I'm going with the Patriots.

Above and beyond the fact they play like a brutal, uncompromising machine, have the edge in experience, and shut down Indy in the playoffs (in what was probably the best game of the year), they just flat out have more attractive uniforms than the Eagles.

Pats 27 Eagles 17

Although the score was tighter than I expected, the Pats walked away with yet another title. Two observations:

Where was this vaunted coaching of Andy Reid? The Eagles time management was awful, as was their play calling in the closing minutes. Yikes.

When you look at McNabb's stats, you don't get this impression - but the man choked. Not only did he give up the ball at the worst possible times, he looked sick to his stomach when Philadelphia got the ball back with a chance to win it all.

JMHO
