2) What is one big way the Eagles have an advantage over Minnesota?

“The biggest advantage is home field advantage. I wrote earlier this weekend that, if history is any indication of anything, it’s the fact that teams who play indoors typically don’t win in January on the road. We’re not playing in a living room. This will be outdoors, and it will be on grass. That will throw off everything from timing plays in the passing game to field goal attempts.

I’m also expecting a raucous home crowd. The fans at ‘The Linc’ aren’t as vicious as the ones who used to show up at ‘The Vet’, but if they get involved the way that they are capable, it can feel as though the other team is under attack.”
