The 76ers are off Super Bowl Sunday and struck a deal with head coach Brett Brown to attend the game in Minneapolis to watch the hometown Eagles.

The catch? The 76ers have to win their next eight games, beginning with Monday night's game in Memphis.

Brett Brown just told @NBCSPhilly that a couple of his players have already asked to attend the Super Bowl. Joel Embiid told me this morning he’s in, if Coach is. The deal? Brett said if they go undefeated the next eight games, they can charter from Indy to Minny.

The 76ers (22-20) are 7-1 over their past eight games so getting hot for another eight shouldn't be too tough. Their schedule before Super Bowl Sunday does feature six road games and two back-to-backs, however.
