This game will be played on artificial turf. The New England Patriots play their home games on artificial turf. In Super Bowls, turf teams playing on turf are 9-11. The Philadelphia Eagles play their home games on natural grass, and grass teams playing on turf are 9-9. Not much help there.
The team with the more experienced quarterback is 29-22. Tom Brady of the Patriots is more experienced than Nick Foles of the Eagles. But the team with the more experienced head coach is, surprisingly, only 25-26. Bill Belichick of the Patriots is more experienced than Doug Pederson of the Eagles.
The Patriots are 5-4 in Super Bowls, including 5-2 with Belichick and Brady. The Eagles are 0-2 in Super Bowls. In league championship games overall, the Patriots are 5-5 (they lost the 1963 AFL Championship Game to the San Diego Chargers), while the Eagles are 3-3 (losing the NFL Championship Game in 1947, while winning in 1948, 1949 and 1960).
The teams wearing white are 33-18. The AFC Champion has the choice in odd-numbered Super Bowls, and the Patriots chose to wear white. Solid color jerseys are as follows: Green (which the Eagles will be wearing), 4-4; Black, 6-4; Red, 5-5; Blue, 4-12; Purple, 1-2; and Orange, 0-4 (all the Denver Broncos).
Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia is 1,179 miles from U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts is 1,395 miles away. The average distance of the winning team is 1,538 miles; of the losing team, 1,455 miles -- each further than the Eagles, who are the closer team. The closer team is 29-22.
If you're still undecided as to who to bet on, know that the final odds are the Patriots by 4 1/2 points, and that the Patriots tend to cheat.
