With or without TO, I think the Eagles can beat the Patriots. I think the Eagles will cover the spread (+7) and win outright by a score of 24-20. As good as the Patriots play it, a good quarterback can still find holes in their zone coverages. McNabb's line: 20-35-250-2-0 and 50 yards rushing. Brady's line: 18-28-210-1-1

1214.7 [+1200] David Patten will score first TD in game
1304.1 [-115] More Pats + Eagles Punts (-1.5) than made Corey Maggette FT
I took a bath on my fictional bets.
You haven't been reading enough sports guy is all. If you had been reading, you would know that the Pats always pull it off when it counts.
I think this was a case of the Eagles finding a way to lose when it counts. They now have a four year history of doing it in big games.
I was too hard on myself in that last comment. I hit on both the Eagles covering and the over/under bets.
