49ers vs Eagles Preview
The Philadelphia Eagles blew by the New York Giants in the NFL divisional round to earn themselves back-to-back home games and a visit from the San Francisco 49ers this coming Sunday.
The Eagles looked like the better team in every phase against New York. They shut down any potential threat from the Giants wide receivers and covered them off for the entirety of the game, highlighting the Giants need for a top tier wide receiver this coming offseason.
The visiting team handled their business against the Dallas Cowboys despite a strong performance from Cowboys wide receiver Ceedee Lamb. The former Oklahoma Sooner might have had 10 catches for 117 yards, but the Niners forced multiple turnovers and completely obliterated the Cowboys ability to run the football.
The two teams will face off in the NFC Championship game for a chance to play in Super Bowl LVII. This highly anticipated matchup will feature the two most deserving teams in the conference and is sure to be filled with star players.
Best NFL Player Prop Bets Today for 49ers vs Eagles - NFC Championship Game
Best 49ers Player Prop Bets Today
Brock Purdy has earned a lot of respect, but the Niners will likely want to avoid relying on his arm against this Eagles defense. Therefore, it is expected to see a lot of motion and trickery in the backfield, some carries for Deebo Samuel, a lot of work for Elijah Mitchell and Christian McCaffrey, which would make the under for Purdy's passing yards a favorable bet.
The Pick: Brock Purdy Under 220.5 Passing Yards (-115)

The Niners defense do a great job taking away the middle of the field, and Fred Warner is going to be blanketing Dallas Goedert whenever he tries to make himself available up the seam or over the middle. He might pick up some yards, but I don’t imagine Jalen Hurts being able to find Goedert too comfortably all afternoon.
The Pick: Dallas Goedert Under 4.5 Receptions (-115)
Kenneth Gainwell hasn’t been heavily involved this season with Miles Sanders exploding for a career high year in rushing and carries. However, Gainwell does have 17 carries in the last two games, including a big rushing night against the Giants. The 49ers aren’t easy to run on, granted, but at 8.5 yards I can’t help myself on this one.
The Pick: Kenneth Gainwell Over 8.5 Rushing Yards (-120)
The Eagles will need to target the Niners secondary when given enough time. They may attempt deep shots with multiple wide receivers who are capable of breaking the defense or winning one-on-one for a deep ball. Given enough time, Jalen Hurts is likely to try this strategy at least a couple of times against a defense that is difficult to methodically drive on.
The Pick: Jalen Hurts Longest Passing Completion Over 38.5 Yards (-115)
