Super bowl preview

Super Bowl 52 Philadelphia Eagles Vs.  New England Patriots 


After 20 long weeks of controversy comebacks injuries, only two teams remain in contention for all of the glory.  The New England Patriots won are representing the AFC after a 20 points comeback against the AFC South champs Jaguar.  On the NFC side, the Philadelphia Eagles flew over the Viking in the NFC championship.  Nick Foles was unbelievable in that game throwing for over 300 yards in a blowout.



In this game, the Patriots are favored by -5.  Nick Foles is looking to be the 10th quarterback to win a super bowl with a backup quarterback.  The last QB to do that is Tom Brady himself after Drew Bledsoe went down in 2001.  The city of Philadelphia has backed their Eagles and have flocked to Minneapolis. 



Keys to the game

Hit Brady
make it seem like home game

Run the Run pass option in hurry-up situations

protect Foles

NFC Championship Foles



Defense wins championships and Defense has brought the Eagles to the championship.  Tom Brady is debatably one of the best quarterbacks of all time.  To stop him you need to sack him and get him flustered. 


Another key, not on the field, but will be just as important will be making U.S Bank stadium feel like home for the Eagles.  The Eagles have been great at home they only lost one game at home this season.  Even when they are on the road their loyal fan base has gone with them and turned their away games into home games.  I am not saying that it won't happen but I think it would really help the Eagles.


The third key for the Eagles in this game is running the Run Pass Option in hurry-up situations.  The run-pass option is a package that the Patriots defense struggles with.  These plays allow the QB to make a decision to hand it off to the running back or throw it to one of his receivers.  This package will be useful in a lot of situations including the hurry up because the defense will have less time to read it and point it out and hopefully it will fake them out and allow the Eagles to get down the field.



Another important key is protecting Nick Foles.  This will be crucial if the Eagles can protect Foles and give him time to make the long throws. Which is what they did the NFC Championship. 


The final Key for the Eagles will be for NFC Championship Nick Foles to show up at this game.  During that game Nick Foles could not be stopped he threw over 300 yards. 






On the AFC side, the New England Patriots are favored in this matchup are looking for their six Super Bowl in franchise history.  They have never won back to back Championships.  all five of their championships have been under the same coach and quarter.



Keys to the Game


Watch for Run pass option

don't take this team lightly

Don't fall behind in the first half



For the Patriots the keys are less because of how well they have been playing but defensively they need to watch the run-pass option as explained earlier this option has been the kryptonite for the Patriots Defense and I know that Bill Bilichek is working with his defense to stop this formation. 


The last key for the Patriots is to not take the Eagles lightly.  The Patriots defense has to take the Eagles offense asa threat even though Nick Foles is under center.



My prediction

I think This game will be close and back and forth but I think that super bowl Nick Foles will be better than NFC Championship Nick Foles.  I think it will be 24-17 EAGLES.
