<\/figure>\n No rookie<\/a><\/span> quarterback has ever reached the Super Bowl. San Francisco 49ers<\/a><\/span> quarterback Brock Purdy<\/a><\/span> is one win away from making historical past, and he\u2019d accomplish that as a seventh-round rookie<\/a><\/span> most individuals paid no thoughts to on the ultimate day of the draft. Still, regardless of the outstanding story, bettors appear to suppose historical past gained\u2019t be made this yr. According to OddsChecker US<\/a><\/span>, 62.3 % of bets have been positioned on Philadelphia to stroll away with the victory in Sunday\u2019s NFC Championship Game.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n On the floor, it looks as if a straightforward resolution to again Philadelphia. The Eagles are the favorites. They are at dwelling, and this is only one week after Philly dominated the Giants 38-7, whereas San Francisco struggled to drag out a seven-point win over the Dallas Cowboys<\/a><\/span>. Purdy, specifically, didn\u2019t look too spectacular in that recreation. Despite the Cowboys\u2019 greatest edge-rusher Micah Parsons<\/a><\/span> being held in verify all through many of the recreation, Purdy did make some questionable selections. Bailed out by a dropped Trevon Diggs interception and different missteps by the Cowboys\u2019 protection, Purdy appeared susceptible regardless of having by no means misplaced a recreation in his NFL profession. Against a staff as full because the Eagles, these errors will come again to hang-out the 49ers. <\/p>\n That stated, the 49ers do have some benefits. They solely have one win on the season as an underdog \u2014 Week 4 in opposition to the Los Angeles Rams \u2014 and that victory got here in opposition to a staff that may wind up being one of many worst within the league. Yes, they had been wholesome on the time; nboth Cooper Kupp<\/a><\/span> nor Matthew Stafford<\/a><\/span> had succumbed to season-ending harm by that time. However, even when the staff was at its greatest, they underwhelmed. However, this lone win as an underdog solely got here as a result of the 49ers had been staff. They weren\u2019t the underdog fairly often. Meanwhile, the Eagles have two losses on the season as favorites at dwelling, in opposition to each the Commanders and Saints. Whereas San Fran has gained 12 in a row, Philadelphia has misplaced two of its final 4. However, I\u2019m keen to miss the Cowboys video games attributable to Jalen Hurts\u2019 harm.<\/p>\n Regardless, the Eagles have been overwhelmed at dwelling somewhat lately. They have appeared mortal. The 49ers, regardless of not taking part in the identical stage of competitors down the ultimate stretch of the season, haven’t. Purdy hasn\u2019t confirmed able to main an offense in opposition to a stellar cross rush. The Cowboys had been supposed to place Purdy to the take a look at in that regard final week, however they recorded completely zero hurries, solely two quarterback knockdowns, and simply two sacks \u2014 good for 4 whole pressures<\/a><\/span> all through the sport. The Eagles recorded probably the most sacks within the NFL (70) \u2014 15 greater than the next-best staff, Kansas City (55). While some folks don\u2019t imagine that quantity is consultant of the energy of the Eagles\u2019 cross rush as an entire…<\/p>\nWhy guess the Eagles?<\/h2>\n
