Rich Eisen Makes Super Bowl Prediction Ahead Of 2019 NFL Season

The New England Patriots won the Super Bowl, and Rich Eisen made a prediction regarding the upcoming season. There isn’t a frontrunner for the Lombardi Trophy in the 2019 season. Well, Eisen has a “suspect.”

“I think I’m going to choose the Patriots to repeat,” Eisen wrote in his guest appearance in Peter King’s “Football Morning in America” column for NBC Sports. “I know those are dirty words to a lot of NFL fans. And, as if some of you aren’t outraged enough, I’m thinking about taking them to beat the Cowboys in Super Bowl 54. I have about two months to go until I have to make my prediction on the 2019 Season Preview edition of ‘NFL GameDay Morning,’ but this is the way I’m leaning right now. Anyone who thinks I’m crazy, feel free to chalk it up to my advancing age.” 

This prediction is a good scenario for the League. The Cowboys havent made the biggest stage since 1995. Seeing them play against TB12 and Belichick is a tough scenario.

Eisen always discusses Brady’s skills, and the last time he talked about his salary. Let’s not forget that Brady isn’t the highest paid quarterback in the league.
“It is absurd that he isn’t the highest paid player in the National Football League,” Eisen said. “When Russell Wilson had that contract extension, what’d I say? ‘Who should be the highest paid player in the NFL?’ Tom Brady.” 

“The Patriots remove the oxygen from a story that normally sets another franchise aflame. [They] put the velvet ropes around a story and say you can’t cross into that very important area. Tom Brady on the last year of a deal. What if he wins another Super Bowl? What if he gets his seventh? Which is entirely possible. I’ll repeat it from the other day, the running back core that’s behind him, the offense that (Josh) McDaniels has mastered on behalf of Brady and Belichick and the team. You know they are going to get some production out of somebody we’re not even seeing at the wide receiver or even tight end position. If not, then they’ll figure out a way to do it. Tom’s not going to get touched very often. He’s going to get the ball out of his hand real fast. Neck up he’s as great as they come and the running game will keep him afloat. James White has been with the Patriots six years, he has three rings. Sony Michel, we can go on and on and on. 

“What if he wins a seventh? What happens then? Are they going to take care of him before the season? At this point, Brian Hoyer’s not ready to take over next year and Stidham won’t be ready for another two or three. (Brady’s) the option at age 43 and at age 44 for this team. That’s what you’re looking at right now.”
