The Eagles have only been to the Super Bowl twice before. The first time in 1981 at Super Bowl XV, losing to the Oakland Raiders. 27-10. The Eagles also appeared at the 2004, Super Bowl XXXIX, losing against the Patriots, 24-21.
The Eagles now have a chance to redeem themselves from their 2004 loss and it would be a great accomplishment for them in winning their first Super Bowl in their history.
Alexa Otto an 11th grader at Quaker Valley said, “I feel like the Eagles are the underdogs, and in films the underdogs always win, so I think the Eagles are going to win.” …show more content…
The Patriots have been to 9 Super Bowls over the years.
They have won 5 of the 9 Superbowl, last year the Patriots won, defeating the Atlanta Falcons, 34-28.
Otto said, “I really want the Patriots to lose, I feel like the Patriots have won way to many Super Bowls the last few years and it’s not fair, it’s also getting boring, I don’t even have to watch the game to know that some how the Patriots are going to win.”
The Patriots have won 5 Super Bowl in the last 15 years, which is not very common in football. Most football teams have not even won that many in theirs teams history. Grace Wirth an 11th grader at QV said “ I don’t really like football, but I still would like I see another team that's not the Patriots win. It would also be nice for another team in Pennsylvania to win the Super Bowl. ”
The Eagles have the same record as the Patriots for the 2017- 2018 season both with a record of 13-3. Because of this it’s going to be hard to predicted the outcome of the
game.
Football experts are leaning towards the Patriots defeat the Eagles, not because they are the better team, but because of the Super Bowl experience Tom Brady and the rest of the Patriots have had over the years. According to the sport experts, John Breech of CBS sports, Brady himself has played in more super bowls then all the players on the Eagles combined.
Marlisa Cambridge an 11th grader at QV said, “I’m sick of Tom Brady, I feel like he’s cheated a lot over the years and never actually got punished for it. I also feel like another team should experience the excitement of winning the Super Bowl ”
It’s no surprise that Sunday's game is going to be crazy. With two teams who have both played their best this year, the outcome is unpredictable. The Eagles and Patriots are both going to play their hardest in hopes of winning Super Bowl LII.
