Eagles @ Patriots Preview

The Eagles head into Gillette Stadium to face the undefeated New England Patriots. This New England team is just flat out unbelievable. People believe this is the best team assembled in NFL history. With Tom Brady having the targets at WR, Randy Moss, Wes Welker, and Donte Stallworth, this high dynamic offense is unstoppable. The Eagles still fighting for their playoff hopes to be alive will have more then their hands full.
The Eagles are coming into this game a 24 point underdog. The largest point underdog in NFL history, so no one thinks they have any shot, and sadly to say neither do I. Mcnabb will not be playing and it will leave A J Feeley to start. Therefore they will need to largely lean on Westbrook, who i still believe should be the MVP of the NFL this year. If the Eagles want any shot to keep this game close they need to control the ball and Westbrook will need to go off.
I see this game to be close early on but then a blow out in the second half. Patriots pull away and win this one 42- 17, killing the Eagles playoff chances.
