Prediction:  Patriots 27, Eagles 24 – Loss

The Pats actually had the lead in this classic game.  As I talked about, the New England defense had all it could handle and didn’t get the job done.  The mystery of why DB Malcolm Butler didn’t play a single defensive play will come out eventually, but I believe that was a factor.  Good Nick Foles came to play and with only one punt for the Eagles, he helped to convert 10 of 16 third downs and 2 of 2 on fourth down to crush the Pats defense.  Both teams tried trick plays on passes to the QB with Philly being successful and getting a TD to boot!  There was only one sack recorded and it was the difference maker in the game as Brady was stripped of the ball and Philly covered it up as the game wound down.  It was a record setting game in multiple categories and was fun to watch from start to finish.
