The 2018 Super Bowl between the Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots isn't the easiest to unpackage.
In large part, hesitation from fans or would-be bettors makes plenty of sense after a strange season in which teams such as the Jacksonville Jaguars looked like serious contenders while usual suspects such as the Denver Broncos and Green Bay Packers were shrug-worthy affairs.
Making things even more complex is the underdog angle here. Tom Brady and the Patriots continue to justify dynasty status, while the Eagles hit the big game in Minnesota without an MVP favorite under center but a team that has bullied its way through the tougher conference.
