FILE - In this Feb. 6, 2005, file photo, New England Patriots safety Rodney Harrison (37) intercepts a pass intended for Philadelphia Eagles' Brian Westbrook (36) as Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi (54) helps on the play in the first quarter during Super Bowl XXXIX at Alltel Stadium in Jacksonville, Fla. The Patriots are 5-2 in Super Bowls with Tom Brady. So when folks wonder why the spread against Philadelphia is between 5 and 6 points, they should consider that the total difference in scoring in those seven games is 12 points: Patriots 169, opponents 157.
