San Francisco 49ers vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Sunday, Jan. 29 | TV: FOX | 3 p.m. ET

Both the Eagles and 49ers are playing well in the postseason, but Philadelphia is a 2.5-point football betting favorite at home, as of Thursday, Jan. 26.

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, an MVP favorite before he was injured in the regular season, threw for 154 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in a 38-7 win over the Giants last week in the divisional round. Philadelphia limited the Giants to 227 yards of offense in that matchup.

In two playoff games, 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has thrown for 546 yards, three touchdowns and no picks. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel (10 catches for 178 yards and a touchdown), tight end George Kittle (seven receptions for 132 yards) and running back Christian McCaffrey (154 rushing yards and a touchdown on 25 attempts) have been stellar in the postseason.

Battling through an ankle injury, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw for 195 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in a divisional-round win over the Jaguars last week. Tight end Travis Kelce shined, catching 14 passes for 98 yards and two touchdowns. Running back Isiah Pacheco recorded 95 rushing yards on 12 attempts in that contest.

In two playoff games, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has been as poised as ever. He’s thrown for 451 yards, three touchdowns and no picks. Running back Joe Mixon (144 yards and a touchdown on 31 rushes) and wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase (145 yards and two touchdowns on 14 receptions) have also been thriving in the postseason for Cincinnati.

NBA
