The Conference Playoffs will be played this Monday morning in Philadelphia (NFC) and Kansas City (AFC). The Eagles are looking for their first Super Bowl appearance since winning in 2018. But San Francisco will be hungry after losing the SB in 2020 against the Chiefs. Meanwhile in the AFC, the injured Patrick Mahomes will look to get his Chiefs back into the big game for the 3rd time in his career. However, Joe Burrow’s Bengals will be eager to defend their AFC title and return to the Super Bowl for the 2nd straight season.<\/span><\/p>\n The 49ers outlasted the Cowboys in last week’s low scoring 19-12 result in San Francisco. With the game locked at 9-9, a McCaffrey TD run to start the 4th quarter was crucial and proved to be the game-winner for the 49ers. McCaffrey was mostly held in check by the Cowboys defence and is currently listed as questionable for this matchup. However, he should be right to play. Brock Purdy made some key throws in his 2nd playoff game and enjoyed a good combination with George Kittle (5 catches, 95 yards). Though, it was all about the 49ers defence in the end as they forced 2 interceptions and stifled the Cowboys running game. They get a tough matchup against Jalen Hurts but the 49ers will be confident in their run defence that has allowed the 2nd fewest rushing yards in the NFL.<\/span><\/p>\n The Eagles made a statement in the divisional playoffs after thrashing their divisional rival Giants 38-7. It was basically all over at half-time with a 28-0 scoreline as Jalen Hurts dominated. He finished with 3 total touchdowns (2 passes & 1 run). As a team, they totalled 268 rushing yards compared to the Giants 118. The Eagles running game against the 49ers run defence will be a key matchup to watch as the team that wins the battle will likely make the Super Bowl. On defence, the Eagles were excellent as they recorded 5 sacks and an interception. They now face off against a rookie QB on the road and forcing mistakes will be a key gameplan for Philly.<\/span><\/p>\n With home-field advantage, the #1 seeded Eagles will start as favourites in this matchup but this should be a close finish. Both sides finished in the top 10 for points scored and points against. In a huge playoff game with a Super Bowl at stake, the trends say this should be a low-scoring affair. The 49ers are 7-0 against the Under on the road in the playoffs and the Under has saluted in the last 4 meetings against the Eagles. Philly have a nice 12-3-1 record against the Under in the playoffs at this venue and they’re 4-1 against the Under vs the NFC.<\/span><\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/b><\/p>\n Philadelphia are 8-2 at home this season. San Francisco holds a 7-3 record in Philly.<\/span><\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/b><\/p>\nSan Francisco 49ers (15-4) at Philadelphia Eagles (15-3)<\/b><\/h3>\n
