The Philadelphia Eagles and the San Francisco 49ers face off in an epic NFC Wild Card round matchup this Sunday as we get ready for the first round of the NFL playoffs. In a win-or-go home knockout stage, the Eagles come into the postseason with a 11-6 record, performing equally on the road and at home with a 5-3 and 6-3 record respectively. The road to the postseason for the Eagles was certainly not as easy as last season, with a stout defense but an inconsistent offense which makes us question their chances.
Meanwhile, the 49ers are more of a dark horse playoff team this season, showing signs of their true potential all throughout the season, even with multiple injuries they had to deal with. With a 12-5 record in the regular season, and a 7-2 record on the road, they can knock off any team in the league, and are more dangerous than what most give credit for.
Our best bet for the Eagles vs 49ers is Brock Purdy under 1.5 passing TDs (-190). (Sourced from BetMGM)
Our best bet for the Eagles vs 49ers game is San Francisco’s QB Brock Purdy under 1.5 passing touchdowns. We believe this is a great pick as Philadelphia’s suffocating secondary and their overall defense is one of the best in the league, which has helped them reach the playoffs.
While the 49ers are top-5 in passing offense, the Eagles counter with their passing defense which ranks 9th overall, allowing only 193.4 yards and league best 13 passing TDs this season. Their scoring defense ranks 3rd overall, allowing 18.8 TDs per game in the regular season, and are one of the best red-zone defense teams in the NFL, sitting at 8th. While Purdy had 6 games above 1.5 passing TDs this season, those performances came against some of the more weaker defensive teams in the NFL. This makes us believe that under 1.5 TDs is a great bet.

Same-Game Parlay Picks for Eagles vs 49ers
This is our pick for a 3-leg same game parlay for the Eagles vs 49ers Wild Card game (Sourced from BetMGM).
The 49ers wouldn’t even be in the playoffs if it was not for Christian McCaffrey’s performance this season. He’s the running favorite to win NFL’s Comeback Player of the Year award for a reason and has been elite with his rushing and receiving game, showing his dual-threat ability all season long. He totaled 17 TDs this season (10 rushing and 7 receiving) and had 9 total TDs in his last 7 games. With McCaffrey being the No.1 go-to option for the 49ers and the Eagles’ 20th ranked rushing defense that allowed 18 TDs this season, McCaffrey getting a TD is likely in this game.
Saquon Barkley anytime TD scorer:
Saquon Barkley had a disappointing season according to his standards, but was still effective at times, giving the Eagles enough to win games. He accumulated 1140 rushing yards this season and had 7 rushing TDs. However, in the last four games of the season, Barkley had two games over 100+ rushing yards and had 3 rushing TDs, signaling that he was getting back into similar rhythm of what we saw in the 2024-25 season. The 49ers are 13th in total scoring defense allowing 22.4 points per game and are 15th in red-zone defense, while solid but still vulnerable at times, making this a great bet.
Brock Purdy over 0.5 interceptions thrown:
Brock Purdy only played in 9 games this season, but played a crucial role in the 49ers’ road to the postseason. While he recorded decent numbers, he was turnover prone this season, recording 10 interceptions on just 9 games. In the last three games of the season, he recorded 3 INTs, throwing at least one pick in each game. The Eagles are one of the best defensive teams in the NFL and Purdy is likely going to be highly pressured by Philly’s secondary, which could force him to throw quick and risky throws, making this a recommended bet. The Eagles gathered 11 picks during the regular season, and with Purdy at a career worst 3.5 percentage of Times Intercepted when attempting to pass, this is a great bet.
Eagles vs 49ers Game Predictions by Market
Moneyline Prediction
The Moneyline for this game sits in favor of the Eagles at (-275) while the 49ers are the (+225) underdogs. This is largely due to the fact that the Eagles have a sound defense and have held opponents to 18.8 points per game during the regular season. Despite all the offensive struggles Philly’s been through this season, we believe they might just pull off a win due to their defense, even though the point differential may not be much at all.
Spread Prediction
The Eagles are a huge favorite with a -6 spread over the 49ers. The Eagles are 4-4 against the spread at home this season, and we believe that this game will be extremely close just like how it’s been for Philly all season long, where their wins have nearly always been a narrow margin victory. We expect the Eagles to win the game.
Over/Under (Total) Prediction
The over/under for the total points in the Eagles vs 49ers is set at 44.5. The average points per game surrendered by both the Eagles and the 49ers is 20.3, while the offense for 49ers is sitting at 7th overall this season and for the Eagles, they are at 24th.
With the Eagles ranking 3rd in scoring defense allowing only 18.8 points per game and the 49ers allowing 22.4 points per game, we are taking the under as the defenses of these teams are elite. And a game against Philadelphia rarely goes beyond 20 or more points.

I cover the National Football League and things cannot get better than that. I always dreamed to play football or basketball professionally since I’m built like a Running Back. But now that I can’t, since I’m technically in the “Unc” age, I thought why not pick a career in sports industry? So here I am, doing what I love, and hoping that the Commanders win the Super Bowl. I give love to players when it’s due, but can be critical about their performances at the same time. Enough about me, now let my articles do all the talking.
