Eagles Won First Game 

The Eagles faced off against the Baltimore Ravens in the first preseason game, and they were able to secure the 16-13 victory. At the end of the first quarter, they were up 6-3, and they didn’t look back as they were able to secure the victory. The defense was sure impressive, and it’s what helped lead them to a victory. Kenny Pickett had a strong game completing 14 of his 22 passes for 89 yards and a touchdown. Tanner McKee also got some run, and he completed 6 of his 16 passes for 39 yards. The top rusher Kendrall Milton rushed nine times for 39 yards. Britain Covey was target plenty and finished with four passes for 25 yards. 

Patriots Looked Good in First Preseason Game

The Patriots sure looked good in the first preseason game against the Carolina Panthers, and they were able to secure the 17-3 victory. The defense sure looked impressive, but all eyes were on the quarterback battle for New England. The Patriots scored seven points in the 2nd quarter, and they added another 10 points in the 4th quarter to secure the win. Drake Maye completed 2 of his 3 passes for 19 yards. Joe Milton III also completed 4 of his 6 passes for 54 yards, and a touchdown. Jacoby Brissett finished with three passes but failed to have a completion. Bailey Zappe completed 12 of his 20 passes for 108 yards. Wide receiver Kayshon Battle caught three passes for 53 yards. It’s unclear what the rotation will be for the quarterback in this game, but it wouldn’t be shocking if all four got some run again here. The Patriots need to figure out their quarterback, and fans are hoping that they see more from Maye. 

Philadelphia Eagles vs New England Patriots Prediction

This game is going to be a defensive battle, and that’s going to be because of the play of the Patriots. The Patriots defense was sure impressive in the first game and the Eagles are going to really struggle to get the offense going here. The Patriots' offense is going to really struggle to get the offense going, and the quarterback play is going to be a problem also. This game is going to be an ugly one and the under is going to cash.
