Last Matchup
2021: Both teams looked a lot different than they do now, with the thought of a Purdy vs Hurts matchup practically nonexistent. The 49ers won the game, 17-11.
This Game At A Glance
Winner goes to the Super Bowl, can’t be more pressing than that. The Eagles who are practically returning to full health when they hit the field, will be a powerful force against a banged-up 49ers team. That won’t stop San Fran from getting at Hurts and trying to create turnovers.

Eagles Win If…
- Contain Deebo and CMC.
- Expose the 49ers secondary but don’t stray from the run.
- Create turnovers by pressuring Purdy.
49ers Win If…
- Cover Hurts.
- Run the ball & control the clock.
- Get up early.
Prediction: Eagles 38-7
It’s kind of a throwaway prediction that I know won’t happen, but this is what the 49ers should get for putting their jersey on the Rocky statue.
