49ers vs Eagles Parlay: NFC Championship SGP Picks 1/29/23
Updated November 5, 2026
Updated November 5, 2026
The NFC Championship Game is set for Sunday, January 29, 2023, as the San Francisco 49ers travel to Philadelphia to face the Eagles with a trip to Super Bowl LVII on the line.
San Francisco rookie quarterback Brock Purdy faces the biggest challenge of his remarkable debut season. After guiding the 49ers through the playoffs, he must now contend with one of the NFL's strongest defenses and a hostile crowd at Lincoln Financial Field.
Philadelphia enters the game as a 2.5-point favorite after dismantling the New York Giants 38-7 in the Divisional Round. The total is set at 46.5 points, an interesting number considering both teams ranked among the league's top five defenses during the regular season.
Our 49ers vs Eagles same-game parlay combines a San Francisco spread selection with rushing props for Jalen Hurts and Christian McCaffrey.

These odds were quoted ahead of the NFC Championship Game on January 29, 2023, and are included for historical reference.
The parlay is built around San Francisco's defensive strength, Hurts' ability to make plays with his legs, and McCaffrey's consistent rushing production.
Philadelphia delivered an impressive performance against the Giants in the Divisional Round, while San Francisco had to work considerably harder to defeat the Dallas Cowboys.
The Eagles scored 38 points in their victory, compared with just 19 for the 49ers.
However, those results do not necessarily indicate how this matchup will unfold.
Philadelphia's success against New York came largely through its rushing attack. The Eagles gained 268 yards on 44 carries, controlling possession and reducing the need for Jalen Hurts to make difficult throws.
Repeating that performance against San Francisco will be much harder.
The 49ers allowed just 3.4 yards per rushing attempt during the regular season, the lowest average in the NFL.
That defensive strength could significantly limit Philadelphia's preferred offensive approach.
If the Eagles struggle to establish their running game, Hurts may need to rely more heavily on his passing ability against an aggressive San Francisco defense.
The 49ers have the personnel to create pressure and force Philadelphia into difficult situations.
The 49ers also possess an impressive collection of offensive playmakers.
Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, and George Kittle give Brock Purdy several reliable options, particularly on short passes and plays designed to generate yards after the catch.
That versatility should help San Francisco move the ball without asking its rookie quarterback to make too many high-risk throws.
Philadelphia has home-field advantage, but the 49ers' defense and offensive talent make them a strong candidate to keep this game close.
Pick 1: San Francisco 49ers +2.5 (+100)
Jalen Hurts has been one of the NFL's most dangerous rushing quarterbacks this season.
His ability to extend plays, escape pressure, and gain yards on designed runs gives Philadelphia an important advantage.
Hurts used his legs effectively against the Giants in the Divisional Round, recording nine rushing attempts and scoring a touchdown.
He could be even more involved against San Francisco.
Philadelphia dominated New York and rarely needed to take significant risks.
The NFC Championship should be a much closer contest.
San Francisco's outstanding run defense could make it difficult for the Eagles to generate consistent yardage with their running backs.
That may create additional opportunities for Hurts to scramble or keep the ball on designed quarterback runs.
The 49ers also have an aggressive pass rush, which could force Hurts out of the pocket.
His mobility will be particularly valuable if Philadelphia struggles to establish a conventional running game.
Hurts has rushed for at least 47 yards in seven games this season.
That makes the 46.5-yard line a realistic target, especially in a matchup where his ability to create plays independently could become essential.
Philadelphia may need its quarterback to take on a larger rushing workload than he did against the Giants.
Pick 2: Jalen Hurts Over 46.5 Rushing Yards (-110)
Christian McCaffrey had a relatively quiet rushing performance against Dallas in the Divisional Round.
The 49ers running back averaged just 3.5 yards per carry on ten attempts as San Francisco struggled to establish consistent production on the ground.
However, his broader season numbers suggest he is capable of a much stronger performance.
McCaffrey has rushed for at least 60 yards nine times this season, including an impressive 119-yard performance against the Seattle Seahawks in the Wild Card Round.
The 49ers have relied heavily on McCaffrey since acquiring him during the regular season.
His ability to contribute as both a runner and receiver gives San Francisco considerable flexibility.
Against Philadelphia, the 49ers may look to establish McCaffrey early to prevent the Eagles' pass rush from focusing exclusively on Brock Purdy.
A productive running game would also help San Francisco control possession and limit the number of opportunities available to Philadelphia's offense.
Philadelphia's defense presents a difficult challenge, but McCaffrey has demonstrated throughout the season that he can produce against strong opponents.
His 58.5-yard rushing line is within reach if San Francisco commits to the ground game.
The 49ers should have plenty of motivation to keep the ball in McCaffrey's hands, particularly with a rookie quarterback playing in his first conference championship.
Pick 3: Christian McCaffrey Over 58.5 Rushing Yards (-110)
Sunday's matchup brings together two of the NFL's strongest teams.
Philadelphia has enjoyed an outstanding season behind Jalen Hurts, while San Francisco has continued winning despite losing multiple starting quarterbacks to injury.
The game features several important individual matchups that could determine which team advances to the Super Bowl.
San Francisco defensive end Nick Bosa enters the NFC Championship as one of the league's most dangerous pass rushers.
Bosa led the NFL in sacks during the regular season and will be a major concern for Philadelphia's offensive line.
One matchup worth watching involves Eagles left tackle Jordan Mailata.
According to the original pregame analysis, Mailata ranked 56th among 64 qualifying offensive linemen in pass-block win rate.
San Francisco will look to exploit that matchup and pressure Hurts without sacrificing too much defensive coverage.
If Bosa consistently disrupts Philadelphia's passing game, the Eagles could struggle to maintain offensive rhythm.
The 49ers are likely to emphasize short, high-percentage throws against Philadelphia's talented secondary.
McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel are particularly dangerous when receiving the ball in space.
Both players can turn relatively simple passes into significant gains.
That approach could help Purdy avoid unnecessary risks while reducing the impact of Philadelphia's pass rush.
George Kittle also provides a reliable option over the middle of the field.
San Francisco's ability to distribute the ball among its playmakers will be important against a defense featuring cornerback Darius Slay.
Both starting quarterbacks enter the NFC Championship with relatively limited NFL playoff experience.
Purdy and Hurts will have a combined age of just 47 years and 208 days on Sunday, making them the youngest pair of starting quarterbacks in a conference championship game.
Interestingly, the two previously faced each other in college.
Purdy's Iowa State team nearly defeated Hurts and Oklahoma in a memorable 42-41 game.
Purdy threw five touchdown passes in that contest, although repeating that performance against Philadelphia's defense will be a much tougher assignment.
San Francisco kicker Robbie Gould provides a valuable veteran presence.
Gould made several important field goals against Dallas and enters the NFC Championship with a perfect 29-for-29 postseason field-goal record.
In a game expected to be closely contested, reliable kicking could make a significant difference.
San Francisco may need to capitalize on every scoring opportunity against Philadelphia's defense.
The Eagles have one of the NFL's most effective pass rushes.
Philadelphia led the league in sacks during the regular season and has been particularly successful at generating pressure without relying heavily on blitzes.
The Eagles recorded 50 sacks while rushing four or fewer defenders during the regular season and added four more against the Giants.
That ability to pressure opposing quarterbacks while maintaining strong coverage could create major problems for Purdy.
San Francisco's offensive line will need to protect its rookie quarterback and provide enough time for the 49ers' playmakers to get open.
The Eagles have built much of their offensive success around a powerful rushing attack.
However, San Francisco's defense has been exceptionally effective against the run.
If the 49ers limit Philadelphia's running backs, Hurts may need to carry a greater share of the offensive workload.
That possibility supports our selection of Hurts over 46.5 rushing yards.
Purdy has performed remarkably well since becoming San Francisco's starting quarterback.
The NFC Championship presents his biggest challenge yet.
Philadelphia's aggressive defense and the atmosphere at Lincoln Financial Field could make communication and execution difficult.
The 49ers will need to support Purdy with an effective running game and manageable passing situations.
This matchup features two outstanding defensive units.
Philadelphia has been particularly effective at pressuring quarterbacks, while San Francisco has excelled at limiting opposing offenses and stopping the run.
Both teams have the personnel to disrupt the other's preferred approach.
The outcome could depend on which offense adjusts more successfully when its initial game plan encounters resistance.
Philadelphia deserves respect as the home favorite after an outstanding regular season and a dominant victory over the Giants.
However, San Francisco's defense presents a considerably tougher challenge than the one the Eagles faced in the Divisional Round.
The 49ers have the defensive strength to limit Philadelphia's rushing attack and enough offensive talent to keep the game competitive.
Hurts may need to rely more heavily on his own rushing ability, while McCaffrey should remain central to San Francisco's offensive plans.
Those factors support our three-leg same-game parlay.
→ Our Take: San Francisco +2.5 is the foundation of this NFC Championship parlay. Hurts' rushing ability and McCaffrey's established workload provide two additional selections with achievable yardage targets.
Combined Historical Odds: +500
$20 bet: $100 potential profit, $120 total return.
