Sunday to determine super bowl LII finalists

This Sunday, Jan. 21, we will find out what our Super Bowl LII matchup will be.

The AFC championship game is between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the New England Patriots, Tom Brady looking to extend his record five Super Bowl wins to six, and make it back-to-back titles.

It will be a tough thing for the Pats to accomplish as they are matched against a Jaguar team playing extremely well lately. Jags quarterback Blake Bortles has been doing just enough to squeak by, with playoff wins against the Buffalo Bills in the first round and the Pittsburgh Steelers last Sunday.

Kickoff is set for 12:05 p.m. Pacific time on CBS.

The second game on Sunday will kick off at 3:40 p.m. on FOX: The Philadelphia Eagles will host the Minnesota Vikings, fighting for the NFC championship.

Both teams went 13-3 in the regular season, and both are hoping to win their first Super Bowl in franchise history.

The matchup is a bit crazy as the Eagles’ backup quarterback Nick Foles took over for the injured starter Carson Wentz weeks ago and now hopes to succeed against a very tough Vikings defense. The Viks’ own backup quarterback, Case Keenum, who has played steady almost all year, is eager to lead Minnesota back to its home stadium on Feb. 4, where it would host the Super Bowl (an NFL first) – after going 0-for-4 in the big game, all during the 1970s.
