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.

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.

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.

(107,531 posts)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...)

(27,143 posts)All I kept hearing was the notion of Washington in the SB with a rookie qb. About 10000 times.
Interesting game so far.

(107,531 posts)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.
Except for Howie.
