Super Bowl 2018 Date, Schedule, Teams: Can Vikings Secure Their First Championship Win?
Super Bowl 2018 is just around the corner, and predictions are already starting to surface. After the Minnesota Vikings' remarkable win at the NFC Championship Game, there are speculations that if the team manages to keep the momentum, they might just end up getting their first Super Bowl championship this year.
The past year has been a great year for the Vikings. Not only did they have an excellent performance during the regular season; they also bagged the NFC North and secured the second spot in the NFC playoffs. Topping off these achievements was their victory over the New Orleans Saints last Sunday, where they had a miraculous finish in the divisional round over their opponent.
If the Vikings take down the Philadelphia Eagles in the championship game, they are automatically set to contest Super Bowl LII on Feb. 4. If they successfully win that game, that will mark their first Super Bowl win in history. Bleacher Report noted that while the Eagles have the home field advantage in their match, the Vikings have the best defense in the league, and that's more than enough to get them past the Eagles.
