Who will win the super bowl? Patriots vs Eagles

It's time for the Superbowl: Patriots vs Eagles.

Here's what the press was saying about the Patriots a few weeks ago, when New England was facing Jacksonville for the AFC Championship:

"FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots are heavily favored over the Jacksonville Jaguars in this Sunday’s AFC Championship Game, and understandably so. They are playing at home, have Bill Belichick and Tom Brady, and a defense that just set a franchise record for most sacks in a playoff game.

So what has to happen for the Jaguars to have a chance at the upset, and why should Patriots followers possibly believe that Jacksonville is equipped to potentially pull it off?"

Back then, a lot was made about Brady's supposed injury:

'Asked for his level of concern about Brady carrying out his responsibilities in Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Belichick said, "I don't know. We'll see."'

Here's what the press was saying about the Eagles vs. Vikings game a few weeks ago before their matchup for the NFC championship:

"The No. 1 seed Eagles (14-3) and No. 2 seed Vikings (14-3) have been working toward their matchup in Sunday's NFC championship game all season. Despite the attention they're getting for arriving with Nick Foles and Case Keenum as their quarterbacks, the teams have won big because of the basics."

I haven't had good luck predicting the winners of these last few playoff games. Furthermore, I was sure (& I wanted) the Vikings to win the NFC championship since the super-bowl is in Minnesota but...Whatever. Now we're here, Patriots yet again, this time versus the Eagles in the biggest sports event in the world. 
However, like most everyone else in America, now I'd like for the Eagles to win since they're the "under-dogs". 
Although, here's what Brady said recently about the term "under-dogs" in reference to the Eagles:
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/01/sports/super-bowl-prediction.html

'When asked about the dog masks that Philadelphia Eagles players and their fans have been wearing to celebrate the team’s underdog status throughout the N.F.L. playoffs, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, as he often does, swatted the question to the ground.

“They’re not underdogs,” he said. “They’re 13-3. You can’t be the underdog when you’re the No. 1 seed in the N.F.C. There’s no underdogs in this game.” '

The Eagles may not be "under-dogs" but unlike New England, Philadelphia has never won a Super Bowl:

"BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — The Patriots will be trying to go back-to-back and match the Steelers with a record six Super Bowl titles on Sunday when they battle the Eagles in Super Bowl LII at U.S. Bank Stadium.

Interestingly, they’ll be squaring off with a team that’s one of 13 NFL franchises never to win a Super Bowl, as the Eagles are 0-2 in the big game with losses to the Raiders in Super Bowl XV and the Patriots in Super Bowl XXXIX."

Nevertheless, as much as I'd like Philadelphia to finally get a Super Bowl (& I was impressed with the Eagles in the last couple playoff games), I still believe New England will win today in a close game. Eagles 31, Patriots 34.
