If you can choose just one game to watch this weekend, make it this one. While both contests will be decidely defensive, this game will be less so. If you are an IDP Maven that lives and breathes defense then you will be pleased with both of these Championship games. The Jaguars are going to be good enough to win this game but their lack of experience and the demands of playing in Gillette will slowly eat away at their psyche. There will not be a lot of fantasy points to be had this weekend but the difference maker for the Patriots will actually be their running game. Rex Burkhead is expected to return and along with Dion Lewis and James White, the Patriots’ ground game is one of the underrated strengths of their team.

The Eagles defense will hold the Vikings offense down but the primary problem for the Eagles this day will be how strong Minnesota will play on defense. The game will still be a chess match but both defenses will be on full display. If you are looking for a DFS value play at running back, don’t neglect the Minnesota running backs as they both represent good value at their price points. Expect the Eagles to really struggle on offense and because of it, for the Vikings to have the first home field Super Bowl in history against the New England Patriots.
