I’m convinced at this point that the NFL Gods clearly are looking over these Patriots nowadays, especially in the Big Game. Last year I called for the dramatic rally because that was one of the few ways they hadn’t won a Super Bowl. Check. So whatĢƵ left? Well, I said immediately after last yearĢƵ Falcons meltdown, next on the Brady/Belichick greatest-combo-of-all-time list would be for a blowout. That would be the one last way they haven’t won a Super Bowl yet. Lo and behold the NFL Gods wiped out Drew Brees and his Saints (the only NFC team that had any chance at all against New England) with a miracle last-second Vikings TD to set up the Eagles and Nick Foles as the sacrificial lamb. Watch for the implosion as the Pats tie the Steelers with Lombardi Trophy No. 6.

My boys agree the Pats will win and cover to varying degrees. Colton, 13, who is currently third out of 26 contestants in our NFL playoffs fantasy contest, says 38-14, while Westley, 12, who predicted the exact score of Super Bowl XLVII, says 28-17. I say …”

Patriots 52, Eagles 17
