The Eagles are once again home underdogs. Can they defy the oddsmakers two weeks in a row? Against the Falcons they kept with the trend of home underdogs in the divisional round winning, their victory the 6th win in 7 such games. But in conference championships, the luck loses steam. 14 prior conference title games have had a home underdog, according to Pro Football Reference, and the upset has happened 6 times. An underdog winning nearly half the time is an impressive rate, and since a conference championship is supposedly between the two best teams in the conference, so we shouldn’t be too surprised at a nearly even outcome.
Conference championship home underdogs can’t get any respect
