What are the odds Eagles win the Super Bowl?

He has two 1,000-yard receivers back in Vincent Jackson and Mike Evans, so that’s a good start. That allowed the passing game to flourish under Tom Brady. Remember, Seattle has been winning games, (and a Super Bowl), with a receiving corps that is average at best.

The Steelers defense looked as inept as everybody but me predicted, making no effort at all to stop Rob Gronkowski and, with his first touchdown, going with the avant garde decision to not even put a man on him at all. But I’m willing to “go down w/ the ship”. With great match-ups across the board, it’s tough to pick any slam dunks here but I’ll try to help if I can.

Fox was replaced by former Houston Texans coach Gary Kubiak. “They should be confident”. After that, Seahawks players targeted Patriots players for retaliation and one of them was ejected. Cruel math thus indicates I have about an 8.3 percent shot of being right any given year. Why not just go with a a pick-em? “Playoff probabilities are based on 20,000 simulations of the season and will update after each game”. It’s a combination as potent as an trio in the league and enough to counterbalance an offense that will be a work in progress up front judging by what we saw in the preseason. Both quarterbacks are going to be sacked a lot. For some, this season is a path to the Super Bowl; for others, it’s a rebuilding year. And if the new coaching staff can make better use of QB Matt Ryan, or if the Eagles’ new-look roster takes a game or two to gel, then the results of this week one matchup could be surprising. It will be interesting to watch his growth as the season evolves.

Jay Durant: There shouldn’t be any Super Bowl hangover with this team this year.

‘They are laser focused on getting to the game that features the Super Bowl 50 logo, ‘ McCarthy told CNNMoney. We can only assume he will be watching, but it will be hard to see the action with his head buried between his legs. It’s a crapshoot. There is no team that just stands out.

Even without Jordy Nelson, their offense should still be excellent, with Aaron Rodgers and Eddie Lacy leading the way, and their defense should continue to excel with an infusion of young talent in the secondary and at linebacker. Three points in that respect should be an insult. And most importantly, the shockingly accurate Sam Bradford is going to be very good if he stays healthy. “First of all, we are 150 days away from super bowl 50”.

A new GM, a surprise quarterback change, a notoriously impatient owner – it all adds up to trouble for Gruden, a fine offensive coach who may not have time (or support) to build the program he wants with the Washington Redskins. Now, imagine how you’d bet if you saw this game on the schedule in the playoffs. Two straight late-season collapses have cost the Fins possible playoff spots. And some hangovers are worse than others.

With wild card berths and 16 games to prove your worth, it is more conceivable now for a team to recover from a poor start than ever before. “It has been quite the journey and it’s something that I’ve been pretty thankful for”.
