Pats are all about taking away the opponent’s best player.
Who’s that on the Eagles? They’re super balanced. They can run well, pass well & play great defense. But even tougher is that they have a great inside run game with Blount, speed with Ajayi & a wildcard in Clement. They catch the ball out if he backfield well, too. And they’ve got depth at receiver. Take away Errz? Ok, Smith, Jeffery & Agholor can dink & dunk you to death, WR screens, or Smith/Jeffery can get behind a defense that creeps up too much for the run. On defense they rush the passer & cover receivers well. They get great pressure on the QB and force turnovers. They can stop the run.
Eagles are a much more compete team than the Pats right now IMO. Defense is going to win this Super Bowl, and the Pats seem outclassed on defense. This Eagles D is legit.
One man’s opinion.
As a betting man, getting a defense of that caliber + points is a gift. I may not be right, but I’ll put my money where my mouth is.
