Yeah it should be a pretty good game.  Both games this weekend are pretty damn exciting and all four teams in the games really deserve being there.  As much as I believe in the 49r's, it's not going to be easy for a rookie QB to be able to take down a team as complete as Philly is.  If I had to put money on the game, I think I'm siding with Philly.  Just because of the rookie QB situation and coming in just 7 games or so ago.  

Regardless, can't wait to watch the games.

If 49ers win I guarantee it will be because Kittle has a huge day.

It will be more because they have one of the best defensive teams in the NFL this season. I social media, I am not quite certain why everyone appears to be cheering for Jalen Hurts to be the next football star because he has not been tested in this post season. Does everyone remember the game he had vs. the Buccaneers on last season's wild card games? The Buccaneers tested Jalen Hurts, he will be tested again by San Francisco's defense, I reckon. Also, the spread is only 2.5. The sportsbooks know this will not be easy for the Eagles.

You obviously have not watched the Eagles play this year.

I am listening to Skip Bayless. He is a genius hehehe.

Seriously speaking, it is true, the Eagles have been playing like they will be the winners of the superbowl for this season, however, it is my own opinion that they have not been tested. Will it be 49ers' defense that might test them? I am not certain, however, what we know is San Francisco allowed the fewest points against them per game this season. Also, if Eagles win, it might not beat -2.5 spread.

This is not regurgitating. I do not know what those people from ESPN are saying, they might be hyping the Eagles for their performances on the regular season and against the Giants.

LOL, I'm not sure whats going to happen besides I expect a great game.

Kittle and McCaffrey both will need to have a good day for the 9ers to proceed.  The Eagles' run-defense is ranked 16th, right in the middle of the league, so the 9ers' run game will likely be the deciding factor.  That's one of the reasons I'm not so worried about the fact that we're going into the NFC Championship with a rookie QB.  Don't get me wrong, the 9ers have had issues playing on the east coast, so it'll have to be error-free football for them to get the win.

But we all know that defense wins championships, so the our D needs to keep our offense working within the capabilities of a good run game.  If the Eagles rack up the score as they've been doing so far this year it'll be difficult for our offense to keep up.

Regardless of who wins, this is turning out to be a pretty good season of playoff football.  Last year's playoffs were full of amazing matches, and this year has been pretty exciting as well.

If the Niners can some how win it all (which I think the champion is going to be either Cincy or KC), they are going to look like geniuses for going out and getting McCaffrey.  That guy has been such a versatile weapons for them since he arrived.  I think it was game 2 when he had that pass,run and receiving TD..ridiculous. 

You're right though defense often wins championships..but Burrow and Mahomes got other plans (assuming they get past Philly)

[nutildah]

Two remarkably close games with four great teams...

I'm taking the favorite-double-ML-parlay.

Eagles to win + Chiefs to win

I just feel it, manbros.

Two of the 49ers' four losses this season have come against dual-threat QBs, QBs who can run the ball well: Fields in Week 1 and Mariota in Week 6. I know it was early in the season and under different circumstances, but still... The 49ers have the league's best run defense, but they'll have their hands full with Hurts' ability to run and his designed Redzone runs, which are difficult to defend/scheme against.

I also like AJ Brown's matchup against the 49ers' secondary, which i believe is their weakest link. Metcalf played well on the outside in the wild-card game.

Purdy vs. Eagles pass rush is also something to watch, Cowboys' defense was Purdy's first real test, and despite not throwing a touchdown, he didn't give the ball away either, no turnovers. The Eagles' pass rush ranks second in pressure rate and first in sacks, making this another difficult matchup for him.

I got the Eagles and Bengals making it to the owl. Excited to watch both games...

I have been thinking about this all week and I can't make heads or tails about it.  My guilt says to go with San Fran but I don't know how the pressure of Philly against a real good eagles defense Brock will do.  If they can get McCaffrey going it will relieve the stress but if they stack the box all game daring them to air it out It can be a rough day for San Fran.  Going with SF though

Agreed, but do you not think or speculate that Kyle Shanahan has created a plan for AJ Brown already? Shanahan can be argued as being the best game planners of all the head coaches presently active in the NFL.

Here we go! I put some bitcoin down on the Niners (I keep wanting to say San Fran but now I can’t, thanks @direwolf lol). I think the Eagles are the better team but the Niners were at +3 and I just have some weird feeling they’ll pull off the upset.

The Bengals this week went from +1 to -1 to +1 to +1.5 to + 2  lol…I got them at +1 and + 2. Feeling Joe Cool and that team big time. But since I am I’m sure that means I’ll lose my bet lol. Placed the largest bet I ever have this game.

Should be a fun day !!

Good luck chi I have the same bets.  Haven't been able to watch the first half of the eagles game yet been out and about what happened to purdy?? Why did Josh johnsonco.e in?  With that being said has any team ever made it to the superbowl with theor 3rd string qb lol.  Hoping Josh can come through in the second half.  Gonna a need the 9ers d to step up and get a to or 2. 

[DireWolfM14]

what happened to purdy??

He got hit in his throwing elbow, and is out for now.  He's currently standing on the sideline with his helmet on, I'm sure he wants to come back in.  The Eagles just scored again...   We're giving this game away with penalties and stupid officiating.  The Eagles already stole one touchdown.  That 4th down pass on the opening drive should have been revied in the booth, and should have been a turn-over-on-downs.

Rough game for the 49ers.  Watched the second half and they didn't do themselves any favors.  Another tough one was the running into the kicker down 21-7 which turned into a td for the eagles and essentially sealed this one up.  As a giants fan I hate to say this but it's going to take a monster game from either the Chiefs or Bengals.  4 rushing tds vs the best rushing defense in the 49ers.  I'd like to see the Bengals and eagles match up here for the SB.

[Hueristic]

I am afraid that Jalen Hurts might fail to perform in the most critical of moments because of San Francisco's defense.

Haha, I'll take that bet.

$5 says Bosa causes a strip sack fumble. 

BTW, do you want your FF winnings or what?

Haha, oh yeah, wasn't on the top of my list.

I'll take that bet and you can hold my winning for collateral.

I'm in the money...I'm in the money!

Looks like I can retire now!

Go ahead, twist the knife.  I see how you are.

I need to frame that screenshot of McCaffrey with the QB play-call wristband on the sidelines. 

For the sake of watching good football let's hope Mahomes' ankle is okay, back to back bad conference championship games will be too much considering how good these were last year...

Biggest win I had all season.

Some interesting prop bets out there for the Super Bowl  



Andrew Tate released from jail, shows nipple -100



Devo - Whip It +10000

Will be a great Super Bowl regardless of cleavage factor.

Line is currently at 0.

Too funny.  Feel bad for San Fran on this one but it is what it is.  That afc conference game was awesome down to the end even though it had a flavor of the nfl/refs wanting kc to win this one.  I imagine this isn't the last afc conference championship between these 2.

[ChiBitCTy]

Well we now know our Super Bowl..as long as Mahomes is healthy, or at least like 90% of himself, which is a huge if albeit, we should have a pretty solid game on our hands.

I bet more bitcoin than I ever have on the Cincy / KC game. I really thought with Mahomes banged up and Burrow just oozing with confidence "Burrowhead Stadium", that it was their game.  Just goes to show how absolutely stupidly good Mahomes is. IMO Burrow is the leagues 2nd best QB and Mahomes more than out played him with far less talent..can't imagine if Mahomes had Chase, Higgens and Boyd. 

As for who's going to win...I'm going w/Philly..that big run Mahomes had towards the end of that game may have really messed him up.  We shall see!
