Looking for a third straight trip to the Super Bowl, the Seattle Seahawks start their postseason as road favorites against the Minnesota Vikings.

Kickoff is 10:05 a.m. Sunday (KING-5).

The temperature at kickoff is predicted to be zero degrees, according to Weather.com. Throw in the wind-chill factor (winds are predicted to be about 10-11 miles-per-hour) and the playoff game will be the coldest game in Seahawks franchise history and one of the coldest in NFL history.
