And while Brady certainly has deserved his four Super Bowl MVP trophies, particularly in the past two Patriots wins, aside from the most successful quarterback in the modern National Football League era, there hasn't been much to separate New England from the vanquished opposition.

According to CBSSports.com's Will Brinson, players on the winning side will take home a $102,000 bonus, while members of the losing squad will pocket $56,000 for their efforts.

The Eagles surprised sports fans on Sunday night by beating the Minnesota Vikings 38-7 for the NFC championship, qualifying them for the Super Bowl on February 4 at the U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. Now in the concussion protocol, questions have lingered as to whether Gronk would be well enough to play in the Super Bowl. The losers, then, will settle for a cumulative paycheck of $135,000.

The Seattle Seahawks were making a bid for back-to-back championships and the right to be known as the best defense ever. Fail to convert, and the upstart Jaguars would have good field position, and the chance to wrap up a trip to Super Bowl LII. This will be Belichick's eighth appearance as head coach at the Super Bowl.

"If you look at a Patriots Super Bowl, a lot of people feel that the Patriots are going to be dominant and they should just wipe the floor with whoever they play", says Jay Kornegay of the Westgate Las Vegas sports book. "I don't care who it is - Tom Brady, it don't really matter who's the quarterback - it don't matter". "To have come from a team where we were not performing well to a team that was successful and had a great locker room, a brotherhood". Oddsmakers aren't expecting this year's Super Bowl to be as close as that one as the Patriots have opened as a 5.5 point favorite.

On first and goal, Patriots receivers sprinted to the corners, clearing out the middle of the field. The Eagles will also want to minimize their own distractions, something that Brady and the Patriots do better than every other team in the NFL. The Patriots scored 25 unanswered points to tie it up and send the game to overtime - a Super Bowl first. Jacksonville ended the game with three sacks, but Brady still made two game-clinching fourth-quarter touchdown passes.
