You really think that people are picking the Eagles? Thats funny because I've seen no one giving them any shot. I am going to appear biased, I know, but thats just the way it seems. The Eagles are not gaining the respect of anyone. All over polls, boards, analysts, etc are on the Pats. Yadda yadda yadda. I dont think I've heard one peep about the Eagles D, which is very underrated IMO. There has been just so much hype about Belicheck and Brady being so "untouchable" in the playoffs, plus everyone wantin to know how T.O. will be that the rest of the Eagles team has kind have been looked over. This will be a VERY good game, the Eagles are no slouch team, and NE wont have the advantage of playing a good team, in their absolute weakness (Ind outdoors in the cold, ESPECIALLY in New England) or a rookie quarterback. A lot of people forget that the eagles have been at the top of the NFL for the past 4 years, and know what these kind of games are like. Thats my two cents on this game, and if you were from around this area, you know that you cant go anywhere without hearin people give theirs. Have a nice weekend.
