Don’t put away those canine masks just yet. The Eagles are underdogs again this week.
Buoyed by the Minnesota Miracle, the Vikings opened as 3-point favorites over the Eagles for next Sunday’s NFC championship game, despite the game being at Lincoln Financial Field.
The second-seeded Vikings beat New Orleans with a walk-off touchdown pass on Sunday night from Case Keenum to Stefon Diggs that will go down in NFL history. Minnesota and the top-seeded Eagles each were 13-3 during the regular season. The over-under is 39.5.
The Eagles players, coaches, janitors and cheerleaders all were miffed last week when Atlanta was favored by a field goal to beat the Eagles in Saturday’s divisional playoff.
