Last year, both the Minnesota Vikings and the Philadelphia Eagles missed the postseason altogether. This year, they share the best record in the NFC (14-3) as they meet in Philadelphia for the right to go to Super Bowl LII. Interestingly, both teams are led by their backup quarterbacks, as Sam Bradford (for the Vikings) and Carson Wentz (for the Eagles) went down for the season with knee injuries. Case Keenum has come on big-time for the Vikings, throwing the ball with confidence and precision, while Nick Foles has done just enough at the helm of the Eagles to get them through a win over the Giants in Week 15 and a divisional round win over Atlanta. Now the Vikings come to Philadelphia as road favorites. Will they cover the NFL lines, or will the Eagles buck the oddsmakers once again and make it back to the Super Bowl?
