Both the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Philadelphia Eagles are entering the championship games this weekend as underdogs. But anything can happen during the NFL playoffs and both teams have a chance of winning. But what will it take for these underdogs to pull off upsets and win a ticket to Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis? The Jaguars have to make sure to pressure Brady and slow down the Patriots by forcing Brady to throw a lot. Essentially cut off their run game. As for the Eagles, they are not going to be able to fool Minnesota the same way they fooled Atlanta, but the Eagles have an advantage in terms of defense. They need to play great defense and lock up in the red zone.
