Philadelphia Eagles: 5 Bold predictions for NFC Championship vs. Vikings
By Derek Snyder
The Philadelphia Eagles are looking to advance to Super Bowl 52 with a win on Sunday. Here are five bold predictions for their game against the Vikings.
The Philadelphia Eagles are one win away from making Super Bowl LII, but the Minnesota Vikings still stand in their way. Who would’ve thought Case Keenum and Nick Foles would be facing off in the NFC Championship, but here we are. That said, with everything on the line this weekend, Philly fans will make sure Lincoln Financial Field is louder than ever.
For the second-straight weekend, the Eagles are considered to be the underdog, which is unheard of for a team who is the NFC’s one-seed. Still, even with a tough-fought victory over the Atlanta Falcons in the Divisional Round, many believe the Vikings are the team-to-beat heading into championship weekend.
That doesn’t mean Eagles fans should be upset, because we all know this Philadelphia squad has taken it to heart. They’ve been doubted before and they’ve also proved the haters wrong.
At the end of the day, the NFC title is going to be won by whichever team handles the pressure better. Neither squad has come this far in quite some time, and with two quarterbacks who are still new to the NFL Playoffs, things could get a little dicey.
With that said, take a look at five bold predictions for the Eagles in their quest to make Super Bowl LII.
