The Panel: Superbowl addition
You know you missed it.

Andy Barch
Eagles
Eagles 24 Patriots 17. The Eagles will do a great job of disguising their blitzes early, coming at Brady from all angles, stopping the running game, thus taking away the effectiveness of the play action pass later in the game. They wont allow Brady to be comfortable at all. The Eagles scoring 24 may be a stretch, but remember the Pats havent played a QB like McNabb all year long. I like the Eagles in an upset.

Joel Hammond
Patriots
Because they are f****** good, and I don't see any way the Eagles can hang.

Nihar Vasavada
Patriots
NE will win because Bellichik and company had 2 weeks to prepare. Also,
look at their track record, they have been there before, Philadelphia
hasn't. Philadelphia has many weapons on offense, but look what NE did
to Indy and Pitt. It might be a good game, but NE should win.

Phil Prusa
New England for 5 reasons:
1. They can change the way they play based on their opposition. Beating the Colts then switching gears to beat the Steelers is prime example of this.
2. No prima-dona distractions. Terrell Owens has been a circus show for the Eagles while the Patriots are just focusing on Philedelphia.
3. Been there, done that. This is the Patriots 3rd Super Bowl trip in 4 years. The Eagles may be happy just to get the NFC Championship monkey off their back.
4. Better QB. Not to knock Donavan McNabb, but I'd rather have Tom Brady for the year's biggest game.
5. Run baby. New England won two Super Bowls with a suspect running game. Now Corey Dillon gives them 1600 rushing yards this year? So much for that problem.

Vivek Vasavada
Patriots
Here is my pick. New England will prevail due to
Corey Dillon and the fact that they have more
experience in the "Big Game". The Eagles poor run
defense will not be able to stop Dillon, who will kill
the clock leading the Patriots to another bruising but
close victory.

Curtis A.
Philadelphia
Donavon McNabb will play like an MVP and run for 70 yards, then throw a touchdown pass to Terrell Owens.

I like the Patriots, because they just don't lose in the playoffs. The defense has shut down the best offense (Colts) and the best defense (Steelers). The Eagles are not as good as the Colts or the Steelers. Owens will be a non-factor.
