Minnesota Vikings: 5 Bold predictions for NFC Championship vs. Eagles
By Derek Snyder
The Minnesota Vikings are looking to advance to Super Bowl 52 with a win over the Eagles on Sunday. Five bold predictions for Minny in this matchup.
On championship weekend in the NFL, things don’t get any more exciting than seeing the top two seeds squaring off for an opportunity to play in the Super Bowl. While the Minnesota Vikings will be traveling to Philadelphia to face the Eagles, they’ll get to play in their own stadium if they can win the NFC Championship.
Needless to say, the entire state of Minnesota is extremely excited to see their squad take the field on Sunday night.
At the same time, I don’t know how anything could top the Vikings come-from-behind victory over the New Orleans Saints last weekend. Everyone was concerned Minnesota wouldn’t be able to get in field goal range, much less throwing a 60-plus yard touchdown to Stefon Diggs with no time left. Still, don’t be too hard on yourselves, Vikings fans. I think it’s safe to say Case Keenum was pretty darn surprised as well.
Now the team must turn their focus to the NFC’s top-seeded Eagles on Sunday. With Nick Foles under center for Philly, the Vikings are currently the favorite, but we all know anything can happen in the NFL Playoffs.
With that said, take a look at five bold predictions for the Vikings in their quest to play in Super Bowl LII.
