I remembered that Vikings D line from an NFL films episode.
Anyway, I wonder how many side and prop bets Vegas has going, there have to be some interesting ones. One of the more intriguing is total score. It could be anywhere from 30 (17-13 Eagles) to 70 (37 - 33 Patriots). This should be a great game. I dont see Brady having one of those dominant performances. For one and a half quarters in last years Super Bowl he looked like a fictional character from a sports movie, calmly completing almost every pass, executing so perfectly with the amount of time they had left, down 25 points and still won the game. He doesnt usually put together 4 quarters of stellar play in the Super Bowl for some reason. He was fucking awful in the first half of the Falcons game.
He didnt play well in 2007 against the Giants, nor did he light it up in 2011, he played one great quarter against the Seahawks before Butler bailed him out and got him his 5th ring after 2 consecutive Super Bowl losses. The title in 2004 against the Eagles was a close game which he didnt dominate, same thing against Carolina, and The Rams in 2001. He has never really had a Joe Montana esque Super Bowl performance, or a Steve Young (yes Im obviously trying to re-live the glory days lol) type showing where he just goes out there and dominates.
Who knows maybe this is the one he will do it in and the Eagles look average as fuck. Or it could be a Seahawks type game where its very close and they are always playing from behind. If Wentz was playing I think this would be a very intriguing match up, with the two best teams playing for the championship. With Foles its a bit watered down, but football is crazy and the unexpected usually always happens so It should be an exciting game.
