- The Eagles will continue to win the line of scrimmage battle both on offense and defense, which will allow them to offset any scheme advantage that Bill Belichick can generate.
- New England had a losing record against the spread last season, going 7-9-1, and they will continue to struggle as they are overmatched offensively here.
The New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles have met in multiple Super Bowls in their histories. This season, they will meet in Week 1, opening their year against one another as they look to prove that they have another run in them. In our NFL predictions for Week 1, we break down this Eagles vs Patriots contest from Foxborough.
Philadelphia Eagles
The Philadelphia Eagles went to the Super Bowl last season, but fell short in the fourth quarter against the Kansas City Chiefs. Now it is up to the Eagles to respond to that loss, starting with this Eagles vs Patriots matchup in Week 1. We know the Eagles have the weaponry to win a game like this one, but their mentality will go a long way in determining how this contest goes for them.
Fortunately for the Eagles, their play in the trenches should still be spectacular this year, including in this Week 1 contest. The Eagles have made their living destroying teams with their offensive in defensive lines in recent seasons. But offensive execution will be key for them here, as the Patriots are so good at making teams pay for their mistakes.
New England Patriots
It has been a disappointing couple of seasons for Mac Jones and the New England Patriots. Jones has yet to prove that he can play quarterback at an elite level yet, and may be running out of time to do so. But the Patriots have put some weapons around him in the offseason that could help Jones’ development, starting with this Week 1 contest against the Eagles.
Something to watch for in this game for the Patriots is how they use their new two-tight end capability to their advantage. Mike Gesicki joins Hunter Henry in New England’s tight end group, with both being capable of making impact plays in the passing game. Whether or not Jones can take advantage of that starting in Week 1 could be a different story.
