Looking for an early Super Bowl favorite for next season? Wait until April and find out who will play the Philadelphia Eagles in their home opener in 2013.

Baltimore's win over San Francisco made them the fourth straight team to win the Super Bowl after playing Philly in its Lincoln Financial Field season opener. Of the four games, Philadelphia earned its sole victory in this year's game:

2012 -- d. Baltimore Ravens, 24-23 (played at Philadelphia in Week 2)

2011 -- l. New York Giants, 16-29 (Week 3)

2010 -- l. Green Bay Packers, 20-27 (Week 1)

2009 -- l. New Orleans Saints, 22-48 (Week 2)

The string is broken in 2008 when Philly opened at home against the St. Louis Rams. However, in the Eagles' second home game that season, they played the eventual Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers.

Philly also hosted the eventual Super Bowl champions in 2007 (Week 14 vs. the Giants). That's six straight years the winner has come through The City of Brotherly Love.

The last time the Eagles made it through a season without hosting the champs at home was in 2006. That year, the team played at Indianapolis rather than hosting Peyton Manning before his only Super Bowl win.

Only once in the past 12 seasons has Philadelphia not played the eventual Super Bowl champions. That came in 2005, when the Pittsburgh Steelers hoisted the Lombardi trophy without ever having faced their cross-state rivals.

The 2013 schedule won't be set for months but the eight teams the Eagles will face at home have already been announced. Either the Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Washington Redskins, Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Kansas City Chiefs, San Diego Chargers or Arizona Cardinals will play at Philadelphia in early September and, thus, hoist be celebrating a title on a cold February night in New Jersey.
