Eagles have a great line, but pressure Brady has been the game strategy against NE for most of the season. It certainly was in the last few games. It works for a while, but Brady adjusted and turned the games around. His pattern has been to adjust to where the pressure from the line was coming from and then to pick apart the secondary defense.
The secondary defense will also be critical for NE. They have a pattern of allowing a lot of yards, but not that many points.
Both of these teams are going to seek to get some type of running game going early in the match up. Look for NE to go to the outside and the Eagles up the middle. As a team, the Eagles certainly have an edge, until you come to the QB position. Then NE has a major edge. Noles has shown games of star quality, but you don't know which Noles will suit up. One thing I have noticed is Noles tends to run a couple of great games together and then he is struggling.
Like my golf game - inconsistent. 🙂
