Considering how the NFL season unfolded, it’s incredible to think the Denver Broncos had better preseason 2023 Super Bowl odds than either the Philadelphia Eagles or San Francisco 49ers. Now, after the Eagles finished with the league’s best passing defense and the 49ers went 13-4 with three starting quarterbacks, the two NFC powerhouses will face off in the 2023 NFC Championship Game on Sunday. The Broncos fired Nathaniel Hackett after just 15 games at the helm, while Philadelphia’s Nick Sirianni and San Francisco’s Kyle Shanahan are NFL Coach of the Year candidates. Eagles vs. 49ers is one of three games remaining in the 2023 NFL playoffs.

Kickoff from Lincoln Financial Field is set for 3 p.m. ET. Philadelphia is a 2.5-point favorite in the latest Eagles vs. 49ers odds from Caesars Sportsbook, while the over/under for total points scored is 46.

Why the Eagles can cover

Philadelphia ran roughshod over the Giants last weekend, gaining 268 yards on the ground, second-most in franchise playoff history, and rushing for three touchdowns. It was the fifth time the Eagles rushed for more than 200 yards in a game this season and their second-highest total behind the 363 they registered against Green Bay in Week 12. Kenneth Gainwell set a career-high with 112 yards on 12 carries in the Divisional Round win, while Miles Sanders rushed 17 times for 90 yards.

Gainwell, Boston Scott and quarterback Jalen Hurts ran for TDs against New York for the Eagles, who led the NFL with 32 rushing scores in 2022. Hurts was tied for second with 13 touchdown runs, giving him 26 in 45 career regular-season games, while Sanders ranked eighth with 11 after registering nine in 40 contests over his first three seasons. The 24-year-old Hurts, who missed two games late in the campaign with a shoulder injury, has run for eight TDs over his last eight outings. See which team to pick here.

Why the 49ers can cover

While 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has been one of the biggest stories in the NFL over the second half of the season, San Francisco running back Christian McCaffrey still holds the distinction as the most important player for the 49ers. Philadelphia only allowed the New York Giants to finish with 227 total yards of offense last week, but running back Saquon Barkley finished with 61 yards on just nine carries.

The Eagles also allowed opposing running backs to make a relatively high 86 receptions during the regular season, and McCaffrey is well-established as one of the top all-purpose backs in the league. Shanahan has been cautious with McCaffrey in practice this week with a groin injury, but expects him to be in San Francisco’s backfield when the 49ers play in their third NFC Championship game in four years. See which team to pick here.
