Will it be a bigger upset then the Patriots losing super bowl 42? It would definitely be close to it because few gave the Birds a chance to even win a playoff game,

If the Eagles win, a few particular Pats fans are in for a long hard 2018 from Oldschool, that's for sure....:dhd:

I'm not just blowing smoke here, but I think the Eagles win. I'm not foolish enough to put money on it, but my Spidey-senses are tingling. In a bad way.

Giants were a 12 point dog coming in. Eagles are around 6.

No, it would not be a bigger upset.

Unless we're talking about how upset the Cowboys fans will be once their "No Super Bowls" memes are gone.

Pats defense is going to have to show up and make big plays ... again. You can never rule Brady out to come back big. But, in most games that he did, the D held strong and stopped the other team from scoring. That is essential. I'm not buying the "Pats blowout" line.

I picked the eagles in both of their playoff games and i think they have just about no chance in this one. I thought going into SB42 the giants had a chance, mainly because of how well they played in the regular season game.

By point spreads, it would not be a bigger upset, but I think there's absolutely no way it happens, so I would definitely be more surprised than I was after that game if somehow it does happen.

The Eagles D is stingy as fuck and that will keep the game very close. The Pats have been to the big game so many times it will seem like a regular season game to them. They know how to make adjustments better than any team in the league. I'm pulling for the Eagles like fucking crazy but I'm worried.

You guys got this - MVP curse is in play.

Wish they'd give it to Wentz.

IF the Eagles win...........

Does Foles become the starter next year?
Does Foles get a huge contract with the Eagles?
Does Foles get a huge contract with another team?

MVP is going to the right guy though - Wentz isn't here, but his team is, which is a testament to how good this Eagles team is. No way Hoyer pulls off a second half like Brady had last Sunday.

No. Wentz is better.
No. Don't have the cap space.
Unlikely, but the most likely of the three to happen. He's Philly property next season, and you don't give away with your starter coming off ACL surgery.

If someone makes a huge offer to trade for Foles, you *might* see him traded, but IMO it won't happen until after the draft, when they've been able to work out Wentz and figure out where he's going to be in terms of readiness for the start of the season. If Wentz needs more time, you can't go into the start of your title defense season with Nate Sudfeld as your QB. Foles could be next season's Jimmy Garroppolo, in terms of being the"big name" out there at the trade deadline.

If the Eagles win, it's a mild upset. Nowhere near the level of upset of Super Bowl 42 or 36 for that matter.

I don't think the Eagles will win, because, well, Brady. But if they do, it will likely be for logical reasons we could point to in hindsight. Namely, the Eagles are better on both lines of scrimmage, straight across the board. They should win the trenches here. They have a better running game and led the league in time of possession. Those are all basic football fundamentals.

You forgot to mention they have a QB that doesn't go into the fetile position in the 4th quarter

Most playoff teams are better than the Patriots in the trenches. Pats have a mediocre bunch on both lines... Both Scarnecchia and Patricia have been doing it with mirrors this year.

They also have a coach that didn't puss out just because they were getting the ball to start the second half.

Eagles get the ball up 14 with 38 seconds left in the half. Drive down and score a FG to go up 17.

Jaguars get the ball up 4 with 1:05 left in the half. Take two kneel downs, get no points, wind up needing a TD instead of a FG to win at the end. And lose.

Their coach is a pussy.
