If you’re a fan of hating on the New England Patriots, you’re probably enjoying a bit of schadenfreude right about now.

Amazon’s Alexa is rooting for the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl

TwitterFacebook

We’re just a few days away from the Philadelphia Eagles and the New England Patriots facing off in Super Bowl LII, and one of tech’s most famous gadgets has apparently already picked a side.

According to a little video making the rounds, Amazon’s Alexa, like most of America, wants the Eagles to dethrone Tom Brady and the Patriots. 

Indeed, we confirmed the message on our own Alexa and her hot take on the defense — “I’m flying with the Eagles on this one because their relentless defense and the momentum they’ve been riding off their underdog status” — isn’t a bad one considering how the Jacksonville Jaguars managed to keep the Patriots in check for most of the AFC Championship game.  Read more…
