Mac Jones is pushing Cam Newton for the starting QB spot in New England. That battle could be determined here. This is the second of three preseason games for the Patriots. Bill Belichick may decide not to play his starters much, if any, during the final preseason game. 

I like the Patriots' QB rotation more than the Eagles, whose top two QB's are raw Jalen Hurts and washed-up Joe Flacco. I certainly would give Belichick a monster edge against the Eagles' new coaching staff. These two teams held joint practices during the week. So Belichick will be familiar with the Eagles.

The Patriots are going to have a strong defense. They kept things under wrap in Week 1 of the preseason. They shouldn't be as vanilla this week.
