The New England Patriots opened as 6-point favorites over the Philadelphia Eagles with the over/under set at 48.5, projecting a 27.25-21.25 New England victory.
The Patriots are expected to win their sixth Super Bowl title in franchise history and also prevent the Eagles from winning the first in their franchise history. Quarterback Tom Brady and head coach Bill Belichick provide the Patriots with a clear advantage, while Rob Gronkowski should be able to return from his concussion by the Super Bowl.
The Eagles are led by their back-up quarterback Nick Foles, who thoroughly dominated the Minnesota Vikings and their #1 ranked defense in the NFC Championship Game, so anything is possible on Super Bowl Sunday.
