My NFC prediction (yes, hate this)

Iggles 31
DC 10

Why?
The others scored 26 and 33 in the regular season.

DC is one critical injury away from being unable to pull off another miracle.

1. Well, while I have no DAWG in that fight, it would be pretty cool to have a rookie QB in the Super Bowl...

But, I tend to agree with you. Especially playing in Philly--although fairly mild overcast weather...

Just don’t think Washington will be moving on.

and playing at home, of course.

Game time temperature will be in the high 30s with mild winds. No rain. Pretty decent weather for late January.

I would go for a closer final, accounting for a late Washington score as Philly could be playing looser with a large lead in the 4th. Let's say 31-24. Just enough to beat the spread too.

This may sound strange.

The coverage of Washington in the pregame shows reminds me very much of the coverage of Kansas City and Patrick Mahomes before the Super Bowl a couple of years ago. It is extremely positive and slanted, and in watching three hours of pregame shows, I guess I know it sounds ridiculous, they barely mention the Eagles.

Keep your eyes on the refs after the first quarter and we shall see if they are in control of this game.

7. I hear constant Saquon Barkley, Lane Johnson, Jordan Mailata talk--especially Barkley...

The fact that Washington has a rookie makes a big story for Jayden Daniels--but I sure hear Saquon Barkley's name every bit as much.

May the best team win (and may we have less officiating controversy...)

All I kept hearing was the notion of Washington in the SB with a rookie qb. About 10000 times.

Interesting game so far.

9. What is wrong with the idiot FOX analysts at halftime---just said the score was 27-12!

Yes, I am positive that is what one of the pompous idiots just said. The score is 27-15.

I'm equivocal on who wins, but damn if I don't expect the so-called "experts" to report it correctly.

6. Wow. It must be really overcast in Philly. My tv screen shows a field so dark, it almost looks like a night game

Just cloudy... Unlike last week, no snow.
