For a team that is embracing their label of the underdog, the Eagles are incredibly confident they're going to walk away from Sunday's game with a W.
Somewhere, Patriots fans are doubled over laughing, but it's the truth. The entire city has gotten to the point where they're accepting this win and scheduling the victory parade. For a team who hasn't ever won a Super Bowl, they sure do believe this is the time they'll bring home a Lombardi.
Don't believe me? Just listen to Alshon Jeffery heading into the Super Bowl.
During an interview, the Eagles' star wide receiver said he's bringing a Lombardi Trophy back to Philadelphia.

My exchange with #Eagles WR Alshon Jeffery about Super Bowl LII that I just mentioned on @gmfb @nflnetwork:

Changing the question from "if" to "when" is an incredibly bold move.To be fair, Jeffery has had this level of confidence for a while now. He mentioned that his team would be playing in the Super Bowl this time last year, although he was on the Bears at the time. Thanks to a clever loophole, Jeffery made it clear he believed the Eagles were championship bound the entire time.

He's backed up his previous prediction. Now, we'll see if lightning can strike twice.
