The 49ers and Eagles square off at 3:00 PM ET today in the NFC Championship game on FOX. We’ve seen a lot of regular season re-matches this postseason, with teams playing each other two or three times. This one is a fresh match-up, though. They last played in Week 2 of the 2021 season, with the 49ers beating the Eagles 17-11. Both teams are obviously much-improved now, but I’m still expecting a low-scoring affair:
The Philadelphia Eagles had the most dominant win of this year’s playoffs, defeating the New York Giants 38-7 last week. Jalen Hurts may not have been 100% as far as his running goes, but the bye week served he and the Eagles well, as they were perfectly in sync and still didn’t shy away from utilizing Hurts’ legs.
