Obviously it will be whomever you wagered on, but simply on a rooting basis who do you want to see win this game? Being from Pittsburgh I guess the easy thing to do is root against New England since they put us out two weeks ago, but thats just childish and there really is no shame getting beat by the better team. Also being from Pittsburgh it is easy to hate any and all things from Philadelphia, very easy when Terell Owens is involved. We here hate Cleveland the most, but they have been irrelevant for the past decades so Philly is next in line (Baltimore still counts as Cleveland, just because you wear purple pajamas and move 600 miles doesn't make you any less Cleveland than you were). I think it comes down to hating McNabb and Owens most of all, being from anywhere makes that part easy. It will be interesting to see the body count Monday morning if the Eagles lose as well. The problem with rooting for New England is all this dynasty talk, PLEASE. I guess if you win three SuperBowls in four years you have pretty good circumstantial evidence toward a dynasty, but in reality they would not have one of those rings if it wasn't for the "tuck rule" (no need to argue that one again, it is what it is). Both of their SuperBowl wins were by a field goal, the second against a barely above average Panthers team, hardly a dynasty, but they did accomplish this in the salary cap era so that lends credibility to their argument. Dynastys were teams like the 49's, the 70's Steelers and Islanders, the Gretzky Edmonton Oilers teams, not these Patriots. All in all I guess I am rooting against the Eagles today and if that meant putting up with the "Genious" and "Dynasty" arguments then so be it.
Good Luck Patriot fans, three in four years is a great accomplishment.
