Eagles News: History shows home field advantage is very important in conference championship games

Resetting NFL playoff bracket: Who has edge in Jags-Patriots, Vikings-Eagles? - ESPN
Eagles best chance to win: Philadelphia’s home-field advantage matters more than you might realize. The past eight NFC/AFC title games have all been won by the home team.

Every team is different, of course, but a clear trend over that long of a timeframe -- three victories in 15 total road playoff games -- is revealing.
