NFL Conference Championship Sunday: Blake Bortles' Date With Destiny

Please note that destiny is not synonymous with "happy ending."
Pats and Jags have the 3 p.m. kickoff. Eagles-Vikings is the nightcap.

 

Jacksonville v. Philadelphia in the Super Bowl.

 

A live look at Jacksonville right now

 

Jags-Vikes is the best storyline. Pats-Eagles is what will happen.

 

Pats v. Vikings. Immovable Evil and the Irresistible Dorks.

 

Yeah, I like Vikings to face Patriots. That Minnesota defense will rattle Foles.

Only way Jags win is if they knock Brady out of game.

Pats 27-12.

Vikings 20-10.

 

Yeah, I think it'll be a Vikings-Pats Super Bowl.

Just cannot see Blake Bortles going into Foxborough and winning. The Jags defense might get some shots in on Brady. But not enough to win.

 

Well of course the worst scenario for the NFL is that the Pats win but Brady gets hurt. Then we'd have a Brian Hoyer start in a Super Bowl.

 

I agree that it will be Patriots and Vikings in the Super Bowl. I just don't think the Eagles have enough offense without Wentz and I can't see Bortles getting it done against the Patriots.

The Jaguars seem to be built to challenge the Patriots. They have the pass rush and defensive backs. They have the speed at linebacker to handle the Patriots' backs as runners and receivers. They have the ball-control offense, too. I just think Brady will get it done and Bortles will fuck up when he has to face a half-decent defense.

 

If the Super Bowl is Jaguars vs. Vikings, will they threaten to move the game out of Minnesota and to Los Angeles or London?

 

FWIW, the Jaguars are 1-10 all-time against the Patriots and are 0-7 against them in the Belichick-Brady era. The only win was in the 1998 AFC wild card game.
