The Minnesota Vikings pulled off a miracle this past Sunday against the New Orleans Saints, when quarterback Case Keenum connected with wide receiver Stefon Diggs on a pass, which lead to a Vikings 61-yard touchdown as the game clock ran out. The crowd in Minnesota exploded in cheers, as they knew the Vikings were on there way to the NFC championship game. This win will ultimately be the highlight of the season for the Vikings on their soon-to-be Super Bowl winning season.

Their opponents in that game will be the Philadelphia Eagles with their second string quarterback, Nick Foles. Philadelphia is coming off a playoff win too, defeating the reigning NFC champions, the Atlanta Falcons, 15-10. Despite not scoring any touchdowns, they were able to advance to the NFC championship.

I believe this game is a mismatch, where the Vikings will tear through the Eagles. Minnesota is riding high with all the momentum after the win against New Orleans, while Philadelphia wasn’t even able to get the ball in the end zone. With their starting quarterback, Carson Wentz out with injury, Foles took the role of QB but has been inconsistent. Even though he threw for 246 yards against Atlanta, don’t expect him to put up the same numbers against the Minnesota top-ranked defense.

Once the Vikings get done destroying the Eagles, it’s on to the Super Bowl. Most likely, Minnesota’s opponent will be the reigning Super Bowl champs, the New England Patriots. Quarterback Tom Brady will be going for his sixth Super Bowl title, which would tie the record with the Pittsburgh Steelers for most Super Bowl wins for a single franchise. Unfortunately for New England, that’s not going to happen.

The biggest benefit for the Vikings will be that the Super Bowl takes place in their own backyard. The U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota. There has never been a team in the Super Bowl who also had home-field advantage. With the crowd on their side, a strong defense, and a confident quarterback in Keenum, I think there’s no stopping the Vikings from finally claiming their first Super Bowl title in their own hometown of Minneapolis on February 4.
