Featured Game | Philadelphia Eagles vs. San Francisco 49ers
Why the Eagles can cover
Philadelphia has one of the best offenses in the league. The Eagles ranked third in the regular season in scoring offense (28.1 points per game) and total offense (389.1 yards per game). Philadelphia broke the franchise single-season record for most single-season points with 477, beating the mark of 474 set by the 2014 team.
Plus, linebacker Haason Reddick is a rushing force. Signed as a free agent this offseason, the 28-year-old had a career-high 16 sacks during the regular season, tied for second in the NFL. He also led the league in strip sacks with five. In last week’s Divisional Round victory over the Giants, he had 1.5 sacks. See which team to choose here.
Why the 49ers can cover
San Francisco has a run defense that could stop Philadelphia’s run game. The 49ers haven’t allowed a 100-yard rusher this season and led the NFL in rushing yards per rushing rusher (3.3). They also ranked second in the league in rushing yards allowed per game (77.7) and yards allowed per rush (3.4). In last week’s Divisional Round victory over Dallas, the 49ers allowed just 76 yards rushing and 3.5 yards per carry to the Cowboys.
An important part of that defense is linebacker Dr. Greenlaw. The 6-foot, 230-pound Greenlaw had a career-high 127 tackles this season; his previous record was 87 in his rookie season in 2019. In the 2023 NFL playoffs, he leads the team with 17 tackles. See which team to choose here.
