OVER 48.5
Might be square Joe public to take the Over in this game, certainly know there's no value since SB totals are inflated. Won't matter.
As for Pats lack of 1Q scoring in SB games, remember they defer when they win cointoss so maybe they've gotten fewer 1Q possessions.... regardless, they same thing won't happen every single time, even if it has in Pats SBs so far.
I think pats LB crew isn't fast enough to deal with Clement and Ajayi on that turf. And while eagles D is nasty up front, the secondary can be beat (especially by Brady & Co.)
Pederson will be aggressive, knowing they must SCORE, not just chew clock and keep Brady off the field. And the Pats will try to score aggressively cuz they know the defense is vulnerable. And Brady will go tempo to neutralize the D line. Both teams will take deep shots for pass interference or success.
I think the loser gets to 23 or 24 and the winner gets to 27 or 28.
Final might be 31-27 or 28-24.
Take the Over and buy something nice for Valentine's Day!
