As Eagles fever takes over Drexel University, The Triangle has compiled a list of Super Bowl XXXIX Predictions:
Tim Dougherty, Sports Editor
Eagles 31 - Patriots 24
Brian Westbrook will have over 200 total yards and Donovan McNabb will pass for 275 yards and run for 75 yards. The Eagles will win by only seven points, but wll dominate the game. Freddie Mitchell will catch a touchdown pass in the game.
Mark Gress Jr., Columnist
Eagles 23 - Patriots 16
Consider next Monday and Tuesday snow days if you are in class and sick days if you are on Co-Op because there will be a "Lombardi Trophy hangover" on Monday and a Broad Street parade on Tuesday.
Tom Holzerman, Columnist
Eagles 21 - Patriots 17
Most valuable player of the game - Brian Westbrook. We won't see Paul McCartney's nipple, but we may see Ringo Starr's ass. The over/under on streakers is 2.5.
Joby Martin, Columnist
Eagles 23 - Patriots 21
Brian Dawkins gets a late game INT that stops Brady's two-minute drill.
Colleen Wolfe, Sports Writer
Eagles 21 - Patriots 17
It's going to be a close game no matter what. The Pats are going to miss a last minute opportunity to win the game when there will be a Philadelphia interception in the last minutes of the 4th quarter. There will also be at least one extremely offensive Viagra/Levitra commercial and a G-rated half-time show.
Dan Simmons, Associate AD
Patriots 27 - Eagles 17
My football instinct tells me the Patriots are going to win. Although as an Eagles fan, I'd pick the Eagles. I think Adam Vinatieri will have at least two field goals.
Steve Koch, Intramurals
Eagles 27 - Patriots 3
The Eagles are over the hump; they are relaxed and have a great attitude.
I got a feeling. I think we are going to win.
Gary Pointer, Athletic Dept.
Eagles 27 - Patriots 24
The Eagles defense is going to rattle Tom Brady.
Dan Baker, Radio Broadcaster
Eagles 24 - Patriots 17
McNabb will spread the ball around.
Owens will have a few catches including a TD and Jeremiah Trotter will help stuff the run and hold Corey Dillon under 100 yards.
Jack Childs, Wrestling
Patriots 31 - Eagles 17
I think Bill Belichick is a hell of a coach. He is the epitome of coaching- no nonsense, but he has a great rapport with his athletes. The Patriots have too much. They have been there before and it is not new to them. Plus, I have a good friend who plays for the Patriots, Stephen Neal so I have a strong affinity for Boston.
Bruiser Flint, Men's basketball
Eagles 24 - Patriots 20
It's all about Donovan McNabb. If he plays well we win. If he doesn't play well, we won't win. It's all about McNabb.
Calvin Hicks, Men's Basketball
Patriots 20 - Eagles 14
Defense wins championships!!!
Denise Dillon, W. Basketball
Eagles 24 - Patriots 17
Brian Westbrook, the Villanova graduate (like me) will have a career game and will score a big touchdown. McNabb will also run for one touchdown as the Eagles win their first Super Bowl!
Bill Fleischman, Daily News
Patriots 23 - Eagles 17
Should be a chess match between two great coaching staffs. The edge goes to the Patriots because of their success in previous Super Bowls.
Mel Greenberg, Inquirer
Eagles 25 - Patriots 19
Birds win late in game to finish year of destiny and make the ending perfect for the book, the movie, and everything else as T.O. scores the T.D. clincher.
