The five best potential Super Bowl LV matchups — and the way-too-early point spreads for each

The battle of Pennsylvania doesn’t have the national juice of any of the other potential matchups, but from a gambling standpoint, it’s tough to not love the Eagles here.

Ponder, just for a moment, the career of Carson Wentz: Four seasons in the NFL, three playoff trips, zero playoff wins. But he has a Super Bowl ring! I’d lean toward the Eagles just a bit here. With nobody healthy at the skill positions, they still managed to win nine games and the NFC East last season. The Eagles thumped the Steelers 34-3 back in 2016, and they meet again on October 11th in Pittsburgh.

The Steelers have the better defense, and a QB who has won two Super Bowls. If you like storylines, how about Ben Roethlisberger? From suffering the biggest injury of his career, only paying two games last year, and then making a run to the Super Bowl is fun for everyone.
