Eagles-Patriots Super Bowl line is down another half-point
The Eagles and Jalen Mills are still underdogs, but not by as much as they were when they clinched a berth in the Super Bowl.Our official handicapper, Vegas Vic, dropped the Super Bowl line to the Patriots minus 5 points on Wednesday evening. It had been New England minus 5.5 to beat the Eagles.
The opening line immediately after the Eagles finished off the blowout of the Vikings in the NFC title game was Patriots by 6. But the confetti had barely landed on the field at Lincoln Financial when the line dropped to -5.5 points, which indicates that early money was being bet on the Eagles. That trend obviously has continued enough to drop it to 5.
