The scrambling QB will once again be defeated by the pocket passer.

Joe Burrow is the only non-Big 12 QB starting. Not bad for a Mickey Mouse conference.
Makes sense. For about two decades now it’s been the case that if you’re a QB and you want to post gaudy numbers in a conference bereft of defense, you go to the Big 12.

I think the niners have a defense that can limit the Eagles. They looked good against the Cowboys, but Dak's play was not good, so it is hard to gauge. I think the niners are an all around better team as they have shown they can win regardless of who is at QB. Either way, this should be a close game. I'll give the edge to the niners in a squeaker.

San Fran is Apollo Creed and Philly, of course, is Rocky Balboa. Not saying that from the stupid Hollywood underdog shit here but just from the standpoint of it will be a fucking war and depending on if it's Rocky or Rocky II, we see who wins in the end. Both teams extremely physical and will be giving and taking body blows all day. Just have to see who's left standing at the end. Should be a fun watch for those of us who like hard nose, smash mouth football. 20-19 score or something in that vicinity would be my bet.

So your saying the Eagles are greasing the utility poles ahead of the game?
*You’re
As in “hey, you’re a black hockey player. Watch out for bananas raining down upon you in Beantown”

Or

Eagles are just flatout better. As long as the coaches on both sides of the ball out together a good gameplan then Eagles win it.
I can't wait till Sunday. Dallas scored 12 on the Niners. We scored 40 on the Eagles LMAO

^^^All that’s left in your sad sports fandom…rooting against the success of rivals because it’s insane to project the ultimate success for your team. Sad.

Nope. I'm just sad the Giants won and cost us the chance to send y'all home ourselves. But I'll settle for watching the Niners smash y'all.

What a great spot for you and your delusions! Cowboy Cockroaches are 4,783 - 0 in hypothetical games that won’t be played. I’ll be watching my squad compete in its 7th NFC Title game since 2000. Enjoy your made up fairy land football league.

In a game the Eagles didn't need. One where they didn't have CJGJ back yet.

Not only do the Eagles have a far superior offense than the Cowboys but they also have a far superior defense.

I'd say this is a pretty even matchup. Eagles have the slight edge on offense and the Niners have the slight edge on defense. I'm leaning towards the eagles winning this in a close game due to Jalen Hurts making 1 or 2 big plays. Eagles 21 Niners 17.

With the way the NFL is right now especially the NFC having a winning record doesn't mean a whole lot. The Eagles didn't really beat a great team and probably the best team they beat was Dallas.

That's not a knock on the Eagles because despite that they still are a legitimately great team and a definite top 3 team in the league. Really most of the NFC didn't really play against a lot of great teams including the 9ers. But let's not pretend the Giants are in the same class as the real top teams in the league and beating them is a major accomplishment.

I think one of the concerns that could fly under the radar for the Eagles is the last team they played other than the Giants was on New Year's day so by the time the 9er game starts it'll be 28 days since they played someone different from the Giants. Will that manifest into anything? Probably not but I don't think that's a benefit to them in any way.

You scored 17. Just like the Niners will if they play well enough.

Cannot agree with the fix, I expect SF to be able to run the ball... Eagles allow 121 yards/game and SF averages 138 yards/game.

I agree with @SeattleCoug

SF defense #1 against the run at 77 yards/game, Philly offense #4 rushing ball at 147 yards/game... if either can impose their will on the other, I believe they will win the game. Looking forward to this battle of the trenches.
