Vike's defense in road games is statistically significantly worse than the Eagles' defense in home games. We can win a defensive battle. Can't wait for Sunday!

That was from Wild-Card weekend, but Hochuli did the Falcons/Rams game so there is a write up there about him


Hochuli's regular-season crew was much friendlier to defensive backs, and more dangerous to wide receivers, than most of the league's officials. It called the league's highest total of offensive pass interference calls (18) and the second-lowest total of defensive pass interference, defensive holding and illegal contact penalties combined (29). That's the kind of discrepancy that will pop out to both teams, regardless of whether Hochuli's postseason crew is scrambled.


Updated for this round

Hochuli has worked three Eagles playoff games since 1999: a 2000 divisional-round loss to the Giants, a 2003 divisional-round victory over the Packers and a 2009 wild-card loss to the Cowboys. In 2017, his regular-season crew was much friendlier to defensive backs and less helpful to wide receivers than most of the league's officials. It called the league's highest total of offensive pass-interference calls (18) and the second-lowest total of defensive pass-interference, defensive holding and illegal-contact penalties combined (29). During the regular season, the Eagles (23) and Vikings (21) ranked in the middle of the NFL in such penalties.

This will be Hochuli's second appearance in the 2017 playoffs. He also worked the wild-card game between the Atlanta Falcons and Los Angeles Rams. That crew called a total of 11 penalties in that game, which the Falcons won 26-13.


Also mentions that Gene Steratore will be the ref for the Super Bowl.

Have to avoid 3rd and long. Hang onto the ball. Need to force at least one turnover

Listening to the various eagles podcasts this week, Viatai received a lot of praise. Seems like the footbawl guys thought Atlanta was his best game and that he looked really solid. Hope he can keep it up

Garafolo said eagles are optimistic that Wentz will be back well ahead of week 1

Feel good about tomorrow night... but I always felt good before home NFC Championship games... I think we'll win... I'd love to go against the grain and say we get to breathe a little and win something like 24-10 but for an official prediction, I'll say Eagles 20 Vikings 16... one offensive TD and one interception return for a TD and two field goals... Vikes get one TD and three field goals... we pick Keenum late in the 4th to seal it
