The New England Patriots also won their preseason opener by beating the Carolina Panthers last week. The Patriots have split their last 6 preseason games SU overall. The New England Patriots racked up 17 points and 274 yards while allowing 3 points and 151 yards.

Patriots vs Eagles Prediction
The New England Patriots are a bad football team, so they’re going to pack value in the preseason because they’re working out their roster and playing starting caliber players.
The Philadelphia Eagles didn’t play many staters in their preseason opener, and that’s likely going to be the case over these next two games as they’re a contender that knows what they have for the most part. The Patriots have also had a full week to prepare for this game, while the Eagles played on Friday and are making this a second straight road game.
I’ll lay the small number with the Patriots at home.
