In 2018, the Eagles were up against the NFL legend, Tom Brady’s former team, the New England Patriots. Winning against the then 5x Super Bowl champ was tough to its core.

However, even that did not stop Trout from predicting that the team he grew up watching would win the Super Bowl by a significant difference against the legendary Tom Brady. 

A couple of weeks after Mike’s prediction, when the two teams faced each other, Eagles became the champion, by scoring eight more than the Patriots.
