Eagles Dominate Giants, Will Host 49ers in NFC Championship
In the primetime game on Saturday night, Philadelphia routed the Giants 38-7 easily covering for bettors as eight-point favorites. The NFC’s top seed, who are a 7-2 straight up but just 4-5 against the spread over their last nine games, will try and become the first team to beat rookie Brock Purdy.
Jalen Hurts put to rest any injury concerns, throwing for two touchdowns while adding an additional score on the ground. The Eagles defense was dominant throughout the contest, sacking Daniel Jones five times, while holding New York’s signal-caller to a dismal 135 passing yards.
The Eagles, who are 3-4 in NFC Championship game appearances, will host the conference’s biggest game for the first time since 2018. Playing in front of the Broad Street faithful, the ‘Birds dominated Minnesota 38-7 as three-point home underdogs, en route to their first Super Bowl win in franchise history.
