    The Eagles earned the #1 seed this season and are rightfully favored but the 49ers have weapons on both sides of the ball and will come out playing physical so don't write them off.

    I think the 49ers defense will keep them in the game. But eventually Jalen Hurts (Roll Tide!) will be too much for them.

    Purdy is everything I thought. A good defense can easily keep him to few points

    The Eagles couldn't of asked for an easier championship matchup IMO

    This is the Niners third NFC Championship Game in the last four years. They aren't some upstart team coming out of nowhere. They play a very physical brand of football both on defense and especially on offense. And they've discovered a gem in Purdy who while not a Mahomes or Allen level talent has that 'it' factor about him and shows incredible poise and leadership on and off the field.

    So it's interesting to hear the Niners thought of so lightly based on what they've accomplished. I hope the Eagles overlook them as well.

    I don’t think many took them as “light,” especially over the last half of the year, usually seen them ranked behind the Eagles and Vikings in the NFC, but can’t say the NFC West was the toughest, nor their playoff opponents

    But as a bipartisan fan, got to say beating Philly right now will be a task, like the Bengals, they looked as best as they had all year

    Now, who do you think has the bigger payroll, USC or the 49ers? Florida just lost the ten million dollar high school kid, and he is from the west coast, so is USC now in the running?

    I give Philly their due, they looked good against the Giants. Now the Giants aren't all that good a team but Philly handled their business. Props to them.

    That QB is a Nor Cal kid, he's from the East Bay. I'd love to see him stay home and go to Cal but that will never happen (random fun fact, Cal has had more starting Super Bowl QB's than any other school). We already got the top QB recruit for next year, we aren't going after that kid. (Not a hard sell to get a young QB to play for Lincoln Riley).

    Our N.I.L. game is week. We've lost several players to bigger bags. The University is being very conservative in how we handle N.I.L. (compared to schools like cough, Oregon and Miami, cough).

    You can get SF right now with two and half points, McCaffrey top choice to score the first TD of the game on the prop bets

    I don't think it, or many of the big NIL packages, comes down to what coach, or who for that matter, you play for, but the money

    Yep. That's one, but not many others..
    Yep, that too. A hard pill to swallow.
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    That's sports. Sometimes we win, and sometimes we lose.
    Right now, my Pats, for whom I used to cheer in Fenway Park when I was in college in the 1960s, are doing a lot of losing again.
    By the way, the tickets at Fenway Park were seven bucks back then.

    Listening to the radio this morning it was reported almost 20% of the secondary buyers for tickets to the game are from California. And the price for the game is almost double the cost of the KC-Cincy game. So it's not just real estate that we Californians drive the price up of. Everybody knows that Philly fans are trash. A large number of Californians visiting might bring some class to that God forsaken City.

    Purdy might be some new thing to you, but he played at Iowa State and I have been well aware of his skills and limitations for some time. The Eagles are fortunate to be playing a rookie qb in the championship game is all I am saying. He will be hard pressed to keep up with their ability to score
