San Francisco 49ers vs Philadelphia Eagles NFC Championship 1/29/2023 Best Picks and Odds
The San Francisco 49ers will meet with the Philadelphia Eagles in NFL Championship action in Lincoln Financial Field, PA, on Sunday, January 29, 2023, at 3:00 PM ET. Brock Purdy, the rookie quarterback for San Francisco, is still having a great season. In Sunday’s 19-12 victory against Dallas, Purdy, the final choice in the 2022 NFL Draft, led the Niners into the NFC championship game by passing for 219 yards and going 19 of 29 without an interception. The rookie quarterback was sacked twice but still managed to direct the 49ers on five scoring drives, the final of which resulted in Christian McCaffrey scoring the team’s sole score on a 2-yard run to secure the victory.
As expected, the 49ers’ defense contributed to the victory. In the contest, San Francisco managed to limit the Cowboys to just one score and two field goals. In the victory, the Niners had two interceptions of Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott and one sack. Dallas’ running game was limited by the 49ers to just 76 yards or 3.5 yards per carry. Linebacker Fred Warner, an All-Pro, had another great day. A touchdown was made possible by Warner’s interception of Prescott, who had a game-high nine tackles.
- The San Francisco 49ers are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 matches.
- The total went OVER in 4 of San Francisco’s last 5 matches.
- The San Francisco 49ers are 10-0 SU in their previous 10 meetings.
San Francisco 49ers vs Philadelphia Eagles NFC Championship 1/29/2023 Best Picks and Odds
With the Phillies winning the World Series in October and the Eagles now needing only one victory to make it to the team’s fourth Super Bowl in team history, this year’s fall and winter in Philadelphia sports were spectacular. This year, the Eagles got off to a fast start, going 8-0 before losing their first game. The Eagles suffered through injuries, particularly to quarterback Jalen Hurts, and finished the season at 6-3. After making an appearance in the final regular-season match of the season and defeating the Giants in the Divisional Round, Hurts seems to be back in shape. Hurts completed 16 of 24 throws for 154 yards and two scores in a 38-7 romp, and his questionable shoulder appeared to be in excellent shape. In the course of the match, Hurts carried the ball nine times for 54 yards and a touchdown.
The Eagles’ defense was almost as effective, despite the 49ers’ defense receiving much of the attention. The Eagles limited the Giants’ offense to 213 total yards and 13 first downs. The Eagles also hit the quarterback eight times and recorded five sacks during the contest. In addition, Daniel Jones was intercepted once by the Eagles, who limited his passing yardage to 135 overall.
- The Philadelphia Eagles are 1-4 ATS in their previous 5 contests.
- The total went UNDER in 4 of Philadelphia’s last 5 matches.
- The Philadelphia Eagles are 15-3 SU in their last 18 matches.
San Francisco 49ers vs Philadelphia Eagles. The NFL pick for this game is the San Francisco 49ers. This year, the Eagles were just 16th against the run, so you can be sure that the Niners will focus on the run in this contest. Expect Purdy to use Kittle in play action against an Eagles defense that did not face a TE of his caliber. The game will be decided on the opposite side of the ball by Hurts’ capacity to elude the pass rush and make significant gains. Hurts made a few spectacular throws last week, but all of his big plays were done to receivers who were in a wide-open position. Anticipate him having some difficulty hitting little windows against the 49ers after his injury. The 49ers have 23 interceptions this season, including the playoffs, therefore, anticipate them to pick up one in this game. This will be a close game that could be decided by an error. Remember that the 49ers went 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games in addition to their winning run. It is predicted that the 49ers will play better ball protection and pull off a narrow victory. The San Francisco 49ers will win to a predicted score of 24-20.
