Pats vs. Schwartz Super Bowl Edge

For anyone looking for a little statistical edge to apply to their Super Bowl 52 betting slip, consider the history between the Brady-Belichick Patriots and Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz. In 17 years, the Patriots have faced a team where Schwartz was the active DC, and in those games, New England is 4-2. Clearly, New England has the edge against Jim Schwartz defenses. That said, the two haven’t played each other since the 2014 season, where Schwartz was the defensive coordinator with the Buffalo Bills and the teams split victories, going 1-1 on the season. And, don’t forget: a lot can change in three years.

Another thing to consider: The Patriots offense isn’t only going up against Schwartz’ defense – they are going up against Tom Coughlin’s defense, too. And that defense is 2-0 against the Patriots in BB-era Super Bowls. Yes, Coughlin is doing front office stuff with Philly these days, but as the only person with actual experience beating the Evil Empire on the biggest stage, you better believe that he’s been in Schwartz’ ear about what to expect and how to overcome it. With the added element of Coughlin’s experience, that 4-2 record against Schwartz seems less like an edge and more like ancient history.

Speaking of experience, here’s another little bit of statistical trivia that might appeal to Patriots bettors: Tom Brady, with seven Super Bowl appearances, has as much championship experience as the entire Philadelphia Eagles roster combined. And three of those SB appearances came when two current Eagles players (LeGarrette Blount and Chris Long) were playing for New England. Of course, that’s important too, as these players have intimate knowledge of The Hoodie’s game planning when it comes to playing for the Lombardi Trophy.

Right now, LegalGamblingUSA sees the Super Bowl point spread favors the Patriots by 4.5 points at Bovada, where they are -175 on the moneyline.
