Philadelphia Eagles @ New England Patriots Prediction
The Patriots should have success early by running the ball and being conservative. However, the Eagles will be too much for the Patriots' defense to handle. A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith will be too much for the secondary to deal with. And if the Patriots pay too much attention to the receivers, Philadelphia will lean on its rushing attack. Eventually, the Eagles will get out to a lead. That will put New England in a spot where they have to take chances. That's when the Eagles will put the game away. My prediction is: Eagles 30, Patriots 20.
