Super Bowl LII Predictions

[masterfins]

Philadelphia wins 35 to 33, with Gostkowski missing a last second 48 yrd FG.

[Sunstroke]

Philly wins, 31-26... Brady throws the game-ending interception to Malcolm Jenkins with less than a minute remaining.

As long as I see a good game with the Eagles losing.... BUT

I took the quiz on ESPN and found out I should be rooting for my rival Eagles...

The biggest thing I'm interested in is how the refs treat the Patriots. The NFL got hammered pretty hard after the Jacksonville game about the zebra love so you know they had to of addressed it.

I predict that the Patriots will attempt a game winning field that is clearly going to miss, but it hits a wild bird, which redirects it through the uprights for the game-winning points.

What I would like to see happen:

- The whole Eagles team run out of the tunnel wearing the dog masks
- Chris Long to get into Brady's face enough times to cause at least three turnovers
- The refs be unbiased and get every decision right (all game)
- Brady to have the worst day in his career, spit the dummy and retire immediately
- Ajayi to rush for around 200 yards and be Superbowl MVP

What I think will actually happen:

- Eagles will get a quick start and be up by halftime
- Kraft makes a complaint to Goodell at halftime about the officials, the Patriots get all the decisions go their way the rest of the game
- BB & the Pats will make their usual halftime adjustments, they shut down the Eagles run game and get to Foles leading to a string of 3 and outs and a turnover
- The Eagles Defense gets caught on the field too long and they get worn down and eventually worn out
- Brady puts up another MVP performance in the second half, Pats come back to win

(does all of this vaguely sound familiar?)

Except for the part about the Patriots getting calls, yes.

although New England only had one penalty again ... seemed like many calls/no calls seemed to favor the Eagles last night. I have to believe with all the criticism the NFL has received lately it helped them to give calls the benefit of the doubt.

I don't know about that. The Patriots still received a phantom PI call on a 3rd down that kept a drive alive where they scored their 1st TD I believe it was and I thought PI could have been called against the Patriots on the interception and on one of the 2 pt conversion attempts. Both times there was as much contact prior to the ball getting there as the PI call that gave the Patriots a 1st down and neither was called. I'd say the calls were about even in this game. The only real call that mattered was the TD near the end of the game and in my opinion they finally got a "was it a catch or not" call right after blowing about 10 of them during the season.

I think you came in second.
