Brady dismisses idea that Eagles are underdogs

The Philadelphia Eagles are considered the underdog by the majority of people - including oddsmakers - for Super Bowl LII against the New England Patriots.

Don't tell that to Tom Brady, however.

Brady, who's looking to win his sixth Super Bowl title and his third in four years, dismissed that notion entirely on Monday.

"You're 13-3. You can't be an underdog when you're the No. 1 seed in the NFC," Brady said, via Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk.

It's a fair point raised by Brady, as the Eagles have steamrolled their competition this season and sport an identical record to the Patriots ahead of Sunday's showdown.

But with the Patriots still in the midst of one of football's greatest dynastic runs, it's not hard to see why they're widely positioned as the favorite.
