Matty, the only thing going against the Patriots right now is to me it feels like its one of those "due time" type of situations. Like the Patriots should absolutely STOMP the Eagles, but something tells me that because of all the luck the Patriots have had in the playoffs as of late, it might end this year because it's "their time."
I hope not though.

I hear ya, but until the Patriots give me a reason to think otherwise, my money would be on them if I was a betting man.

I am with Mattyk72, I am done doubting the Patriots. I am not a Pats fan, but I have the upmost respect for them and I love watching them play. Kinda like the 49ers in the 80s, I wasn't a fan, of course, but I just loved watching Montana-to-Rice.
As of now, the Eagles are too mistake prone to beat them. You have to play perfect ball to beat the Pats. I think the Patriots secondary will take the Eagles WR out of the game, I think they keep Westbrook on tabs. If the Eagles are to have any chance, it's going to be a health Owens, I think he'll be 50-60% at best.

If someone can give me a reason why they dont think New England will win, I'd like to hear it. Theres nothing left to say, they have proven everything they had too. Depleted Secondary shut down Peyton Manning & co. The banged up Defenseive Interior just smacked Jerome Bettis & co. Their offense just dropped 41 on the #1 defense in the league. I'm not saying it cant happen, cause Philly is a good team, no question about it. However, New England isnt just a good team, they are a big game team. They have lost 4 games in 2 years. 3/4 of those games were to losing teams (Redskins(5-11), Bills(6-10) 03', Dolphins(4-12 I think 04'), The Steelers this season being the 4th . Now while some would say that losing to bad teams is a bad thing, which it is, I think it speaks too how well they play against quality opponents. The Patriots are everything you could want a NFL team to be, they will win the Superbowl again, and it wouldnt shock me if they are back there again next season. They are that good.
