The Jacksonville Jaguars would be the favorites to win the Super Bowl if they played the Philadelphia Eagles, a report on CBSSports.com said Wednesday.
CBS Sports noted that a game between the "Jags-Eagles would be the most bizarre Super Bowl matchup we've seen in recent years -- these two teams combined to win 10 games last season and both finished in dead last in their respective divisions.
"But they're good now, in large part because of some dominant defenses that center around dangerous defensive lines."
One sure thing: Jacksonville is already scheduled to play the Eagles -- in London in 2018.
The betting lines, however, are not giving Jacksonville much of a chance against the Patriots. They are currently a 9-point underdog -- and the Patriots have never lost (7-0) with Tom Brady against the Jags.
There's a first time for everything, right?
