Vegas Hags Pigskin Finale

Oh, man. That was close! I thought the Eagles were going to New Orleans when they got the ball back just before the 2 minute warning. Experience won out, though, as the Rams came back to shut the Eagles down in the second half and at the end of the game. I think Donavon McNabb and the rest of the Eagles got some much needed big-game experience that should serve them well in the coming years, and yes, I think they will be back making a run next year.

As for this year’s game, it feels almost like an afterthought to us Eagles fans. Our Super Bowl ended up being last week. That being said, this shapes up as an interesting match-up..

Patriots (+14) vs. Rams I didn’t believe in the Patriots all year. Boy, did they make me look bad! Almost every year, one team becomes a Cinderella story, and this year it’s New England. Can they pull out one more upset? Can they ride that underdog wave to one more, big win? First, let’s look at the Rams. They’ve been here before and feel like they wasted last season when they didn’t get back. They are a team on a mission. Marshall Faulk, The great Wide outs, Kurt Warner and that much - improved D will be loaded for bear and out for the kill.

As for the Patriots, they always play tough D, they have a solid running game and 2 QB’s who are winners and gamers.

As much as I’d like to see a close game, I have to wonder if the Pats can stay focused. So, I unfortunately predict a blow out on Sunday. I think Bledsoe will relieve Brady by halftime and the Pats will be playing from behind all day. The only team that could have beaten the Rams lost a close one to them last Sunday.

I hope you have a lot of food and great friends around. That will be all there is to Super Sunday.
