The San Francisco 49ers (15-4) battle the Philadelphia Eagles (15-3) Sunday in the NFC Championship Game. Kickoff from Lincoln Financial Field is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the 49ers vs. Eagles odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
San Francisco edged past the Dallas Cowboys 19-12 in the Divisional Round, covering as 3.5-point home favorites. The 49ers have won 12 consecutive games, have covered the spread in 3 straight games and are 9-1 against the spread (ATS) in the last 10. They’ve been a moneymaker this season, going 13-6 ATS combined in the regular season and playoffs.
QB Brock Purdy, aka Mr. Irrelevant in last year’s draft, is 7-0 since taking over the starting role after Jimmy Garoppolo suffered a broken foot in Week 13. The 49ers offense has been great, averaging 365.6 yards per game during the regular season to rank 5th in the league — it averaged 408.5 YPG in 2 playoff games — but the defense has performed even better. The 49ers defense ranks 1st in total yards allowed (300.6 YPG), 2nd against the rush (77.7) and 1st in opponent’s points scored (16.3 PPG).
The Eagles demolished the division rival New York Giants 38-7 last week in their 1st playoff game coming off a 1st-round bye. They easily covered as 8-point home favorites. Philadelphia is only 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games and 9-9 ATS overall, but it is 7-3 ATS in its last 10 home games.
MVP candidate QB Jalen Hurts has led the Eagles to a top-ranked offense this season. They rank top-10 in the league in total yards per game (3rd; 389.1), pass yards per game (9th; 241.5), rush yards per game (5th; 147.6) and points scored per game (3rd; 28.1).
This will be the first time San Francisco and Philadelphia have faced each other since 2021, a game in which the 49ers beat the Eagles 17-11 to cover as 3-point road favorites.

49ers at Eagles picks and predictions
Prediction
Eagles 24, 49ers 20
Moneyline
PASS.
With the Eagles’ odds set at -150, the better play is laying the points with the -119 juice.
Against the spread
LEAN EAGLES -2.5 (-119).
Philadelphia has played great in front of their home crowd this season where they boast an 8-2 record.
The Eagles defense ranks 2nd in the league in total yards allowed per game (301.5), 1st in passing yards per game (179.8) and 3rd in takeaways (27). The defense will prove to be too much for Purdy, who will be flying across the country and playing in Northeastern weather conditions for the first time in his young career.
Although San Francisco has plenty of offensive weaponry in their backfield, expect Coach of the Year candidate Nick Sirianni and defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon to draw up some defensive schemes to confuse the young Niners QB.
In the last 10 meetings between these teams, the favorite is 7-3 ATS.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 45.5 (-108).
With 2 top-ranked defenses, points will be hard to come by. San Francisco ranks No. 1 in the NFL in total yards allowed per game (300.6) and the Eagles rank No. 2 (301.5). San Francisco ranks No. 2 in takeaways (28) and the Eagles rank No. 3 (27). With a chance to go to the Super Bowl on the line, both defenses will surely be on their A-game.
The Under is 7-0 in the 49ers’ last 7 playoff games and 4-1 in the Eagles’ last 5 games overall. The Under is also 4-0 in the last 4 meetings between these 2 teams.
