00:03 Okay, so is this the NFC Championship preview?

00:07 A lot of people think it is.

00:08 They probably have not watched the NFL in the last 30 years.

00:10 It doesn't always work out like that, but these are definitely

00:12 the best two teams in the NFC playing this week.

00:16 San Francisco at Philadelphia, potentially home field on the

00:20 line if both teams advance to the end.

00:22 The 49ers, two and a half on Fandul, some spots, it's up to

00:26 three. The total is 46 and a half.

00:30 It feels to me, Jacob, like everything is pulling me toward

00:34 the Eagles. Everything in the way, like getting points at

00:37 home. How is this possible?

00:38 So usually when that's the case, I go the other way.

00:40 What do you think about this game?

00:42 I think you should 100% go the other way because I think this

00:46 is a little bit of a trap line because people will look at

00:49 the record of the Eagles, look at the fact that they're at

00:51 home, like you said, and say, why are they underdogs against

00:54 the 49ers?

00:55 There's a pretty simple reason for that.

00:57 San Francisco had that three-game losing streak in the

01:00 middle of the season, but it came when they weren't healthy.

01:02 They didn't have Debo Samuel.

01:04 They didn't have Trent Williams, who I think has been their

01:06 most important player this year because of the protection

01:09 he provides for Brock Purdy and Christian McCaffrey.

01:11 But the 49ers are now fully healthy on offense.

01:14 Their defense is much better with Chase Young on that pass

01:17 rush, and I think they're going to match up pretty well against

01:20 the Eagles in this one because the Eagles secondary hasn't

01:22 been as good this year.

01:24 And the other thing is the Eagles might be 10-1, but they

01:27 have had a lot of close calls in recent weeks.

01:30 I believe they've been trailing at halftime in each of their

01:32 last four games and they've managed to win all of them.

01:36 Somehow their only losses come against the Jets, but they

01:39 had that game against Dallas where Dallas was tackled at

01:42 the one-yard line a couple times with a chance to score a

01:45 go-ahead touchdown or at least tie the game.

01:48 We've also seen them against the Bills last week.

01:52 It really looked like Buffalo was in control of that game

01:54 and then Philadelphia clawed its way back in, but I think

01:58 it was more missed opportunities by the Bills that kind of

02:01 let the Eagles get back in there than it was the Eagles fighting

02:03 back in there.

02:04 I don't think the 49ers will give them room for that sort

02:08 of comeback this time.

02:09 So I don't think this will be a blowout or anything, but

02:11 I think that 49ers will win fairly comfortably.

02:14 The Eagles are due for a little regression.
