Eagles Fans Gearing Up For Saturday's Playoff Showdown Against Falcons

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Eager Eagles fans are making their game plans for how they'll watch Saturday's playoff showdown against Atlanta.

It'll be a playoff party at Caitlin Brown's house.

"We have Eagles plates. We have some football napkins, so we're getting ready. Still trying to pick up stuff," said Brown.

Matt Howe of Cherry Hill will be watching the battle of the Birds in South Philly.

"Me and my buddies, we're all going down to Xfinity, getting a nice little tailgate in. Then we'll be watching the game," said Howe.

Howe will be watching on the big TVs, not at the Linc. But Jill Diamicis of Swedesboro planned ahead.

"I'm actually going to the game, thankfully. I bought tickets for Christmas for my boyfriend, but basically for myself!" she said.

Sporting goods stores around the Philadelphia area are seeing Eagles fans make a last minute dash to get gear just in time for tomorrow's big game.

"Listen this is the best monumental thing the Eagles ever did. Came from a disaster to being right here," said Stacey Propst.

Ismail Rivera is going all out. He's already loaded with too much Eagles gear according to his wife.

But according to him, it's a tradition to pick up something new before each game.

It's just one extra thing, he thinks will help take the Eagles go all the way.

"I pray every night. I pray every night. You know that God was a Eagles fan too right? We talk," said Rivera.

If the Eagles win tomorrow and get one step closer to the Super Bowl.
