The winner of the NFC will be crowned on Sunday, as the Minnesota Vikings will head to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles inside Lincoln Financial.
The Philadelphia Eagles were the most consistent team in the NFC this season, and for that reason, they will get to host the 2018 NFC Championship Game. Their opponent on Sunday will be the Minnesota Vikings, who matched the Eagles with a 13-3 record in 2017, but the Eagles held the tie-breaker. If the Vikings can pull off the win on the road in Philly, they will head home for the Super Bowl, as Super Bowl LII will be played inside U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
This game will be the battle of the backups, as both Nick Foles and Case Keenum will be the starting quarterbacks in this one. Foles and Keenum were teammates on the Los Angeles Rams a couple of years back, and both began the 2017 campaign as the No. 2 starter for their respective teams. They have both done enough this season to get their teams where they are, and it will be interesting to see how they both play under the bright lights of an NFC title game.

Kickoff begins at 6:40pm ET, with the winner advancing to Super Bowl LII. Minnesota got to the NFC title game thanks to a miracle, as Keenum hit Stefon Diggs for a 61-yard touchdown at the end of regulation for a walk-off win. Philadelphia clamped down on the Atlanta Falcons in the second half to win their Divisional Game, and this one should feature two top-ranked defenses.

The Eagles lost starting quarterback Carson Wentz late in the 2017 regular season, and that could come back to haunt them in this one. While Foles is a capable backup, he does not have nearly the skill set that Wentz does. Keenum not only has taken over as the starter, but he has been playing at an MVP level at times this season, and just may have enough magic left over to win the NFC title game on the road in the City of Brotherly Love.
