FARMER’S PICK

-

Philadelph­ia wins the battle of the trenches on offense and defense. The Eagles are better than Jacksonvil­le, which gave the Patriots a scare in the AFC title game. The issue is Tom Brady. He is so clutch, especially in tight games, that it’s risky to bet against him. Belichick is going to try to rest the game on the shoulders of Foles and make him win it. Foles needs to have a B-plus or better game. If Fletcher Cox can crush the pocket and Eagles can force some turnovers, there will be a big celebratio­n in Philadelph­ia.
