NFC Championship Game Predictions
The Eagles have been the NFC’s best team and one of the favorites to win Super Bowl LVII from the beginning of the season. They’re just one step away from reaching the Super Bowl final. They just have to clear one more hurdle which is Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers.
who would’ve thought NFC Championship would come down to two quarterbacks under the age of 25 in the Eagles’ Jalen Hurts and 49ers’ Brock Purdy.
Jalen Hurts had a season worthy of the MVP, in large part because of the abundance of playmakers around him. On the other hand, Brock Purdy has proven himself since taking over as the 49ers’ starting quarterback, But the Philadelphia Eagles’ defense will present him with a unique challenge. As the Philadelphia Eagles are looking to exploit one weakness : San Francisco’s difficulty with scrambling quarterbacks. Including the playoffs, the 49ers rank 19th in the league in success rate against quarterback runs
Eagles are the favorite going into the game with 49ers after massively winning against New York Giants. If Eagles able to accomplished that at home in the NFC Championship Game, they will snap 49ers 12-game winning run. It’s going to be an exciting contest to watch out.
NFL picks and predictions for the NFC Championship games seem to give the Eagles an edge over the 49ers,
All @brockpurdy13 does is win 🔥

NFC Conference Championship odds
At least from a market standpoint, the matches in this season’s conference championships are not only competitive; they are also historically competitive. The point spreads for the AFC and NFC championship games are both smaller than a field goal due to how evenly matched the two teams are.
The Eagles, Bengals, Chiefs, and 49ers are the only four teams in the conference championships to have Super Bowl winning odds that are this close to each other, marking the first time in the N.F.L. betting markets’ history.
Team | Odds |
Philadelphia Eagles | -145 |
San Francisco 49ers | +125 |
Jalen Hurts (97) is the only quarterback with an NGS passing score of 90-plus on passes with a completion probability of less than 50% (i.e. low probability attempts).
