Las Vegas may have opened betting for this weekend's NFL action with the New England Patriots an --8.5 point favorite over the Jacksonville Jaguars. But at least one fan is so confident that his team will overcome the odds --that he's tattooed his prediction that the Jags will go all the way, on his body.
A tweet that has been making rounds on social media over the past week shows the words "Super Bowl LII Champions" written beneath the "Sacksonville" moniker that the Jags defense has earned, on the rib cage of a Florida resident by the name of Kelly Allen.
Allen is apparently so inspired by the sensational rise of the AFC South squad that he's looking past their AFC Championship matchup against the reigning champion New England Patriots this Sunday. And although there is talk that Brady may be taking the field with an injury to his throwing hand, it would still be a tall task for Calais Campbell, Malik Jackson, A.J. Bouye, Jalen Ramsey and the gang to stop him from moving on to the big game.
The call that Allen is making may be bold, but it is perhaps not as bold as the one made by an Eagles fan who got a similar tattoo inked on his body back in November. That fan was so hyped about Philadelphia's 8-1 start behind Carson Wentz that not only did he make an early prediction that they'd win this year's finale, but he called a three-peat with the words: "Super Bowl Champs 2018-2020."
It just so happens that Philadelphia is still in the running for Super Bowl LII. It would make quite a story if they can defeat the Minnesota Vikings and by chance wind up facing Jacksonville on February 4.
