Final Prediction

Why the Niners should win: The Niners have been to the NFC Championship game three of the last four years. One of those trips led to a Super Bowl appearance in 2020. The Niners defeated the Eagles the one time they met in the playoffs. Niners have peaked at the right time and won via blowouts as well as one score victory. They are also 13-6 against the spread. Eagles are 9-9 against the spread and fail to cover in four of their last five games.

Why the Eagles should win: The Eagles have a 7-1 record at home when Jalen Hurts starts. Niners are 5-3 on the road. This will be the toughest defense Brock Purdy has faced and he is doing it in a hostile environment.

Over the last seven games, the Eagles have allowed an average of 19.2 points per game. The Niners lost to the top explosive team in the league, the Kansas City Chiefs by a score of 44-23. The Eagles are the second most explosive offense the Niners will face.

Take the Eagles because of the home field advantage and the extra day to prepare. The winning streak is impressive, but the Niners were able to force turnovers in big games against the Miami Dolphins and the Cowboys. The Eagles take care of the ball and will not turn it over on offense.

Prediction: Eagles -2.5 over the 49ers (-110 at BetMGM)

Prediction: Over 46 points (+128 at BetRivers)
