Super Bowl XLVIII: The Winner is…

We just finished Super Bowl XLVII and already we have a clue as to who is going to win Super Bowl XLVIII in New Jersey next February.  Hint: it is NOT going to be the Ravens or 49ers.

The hidden clue is in the scheduling.  Each of the last four seasons, the team that eventually hoisted the Lombardi Trophy played in the Philadelphia Eagles's home opener.  The Saints in 2009, the Packers in 2010, the Giants in 2011, and the Ravens in 2012.

So who is karma's darling next season?  We've got it narrowed down to eight teams:  the Cowboys, Giants, Redskins, Bears, Lions, Chiefs, Chargers, or Cardinals.  Those eight teams play in Philadelphia during the 2013 regular season.

Which one gets that coveted date in the Eagles' home opener?  We won't know until April.  Stay tuned...
