Eagles vs. Patriots Recent History is Limited to Super Bowl 52

Philadelphia and New England meet for the first time since their epic Super Bowl 52 battle. After the Patriots went up 33-32 with 9:22 left on the clock, the Eagles scored nine unanswered points and won 41-33 as 2.5-point underdogs. The 74 points is the second-most scored in Super Bowl history behind the 75 in Super Bowl 29.

Patriots vs. Eagles Final Thoughts and Pick

Beyond the Super Bowl LII meeting, these teams have not played each other since the Eagles upset the Patriots 35-28 in Philadelphia as eight-point underdogs back in 2015. Over their past five regular season games, straight up and against the spread, the Patriots are 4-1 while the Eagles are 2-3 following their bye week.

New England couldn’t stop Lamar Jackson or Mark Ingram in the run game during the loss to the Ravens. Things get a little easier here, as QB Carson Wentz doesn’t run nearly as much as Jackson while RB Jordan Howard is dealing with a mild shoulder injury. All things considered, while we are leaning toward the Pats, wager on the over here.

Pick: Patriots vs Eagles OVER 45 Points

Season Record: 1-12
