The Philadelphia Eagles and Minnesota Vikings are squaring off to see who will challenge Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl.

The Eagles are underdogs despite playing at home and finishing as the No. 1 seed in the NFC, largely because of the loss of MVP candidate quarterback Carson Wentz in mid-December to an ACL tear.

The Vikings' muddled quarterback situation gained focus when journeyman Case Keenum seized the starting role in Week 2 and proceeded to roll out an MVP-caliber season as well.

The Vikings are also trying to become the first team to play the Super Bowl on its home field: U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
