It is a more favorable matchup for our offense
We want to attack the run D and LBs
Dont care how awesome the PHI CBs and pass defense are if we run all game

It's a road game for us, home team will be favored
Not always
It's 3 pts for HFA

#1 seed at home and just blew out the Giants. If it was Dallas going there, they'd probably be favored..lol.

3 of the 4 teams that went to the conference championship last year are there again. Only the Eagles are new.

I still don't think Philly is fully healthy. Their dudes are playing through some rough injuries and it may not have affected them against NYG, but it sure will against as physical a team as the Niners.

Big talent gap between the good teams and the elite.

Eagles fan here. Thanks for having me and congratulations on making it to the final four. You guys have been a class franchise for decades, unlike the frauds that laughingly declares itself as America's team. Gotta admit, this was a rare occasion where I actually rooted for the Cowboys as I wanted it to be us that sent them home but I knew you guys would win. This is the rightful NFC finale; an old school, knock down, heavyweight drag out.

Yeah, I got the sense that Dallas was such a difficult match-up because they have so much athleticism in their front 7 that matched up well against us.
I'm pretty unfamiliar with Philadelphia though, so if that's where they're at, hopefully we have a better match-up next week.

Yes but if the visiting team is much better, they can easily overcome a 3 point deficit spread. Happens all the time

Me too, but just because the stakes aren't as high to me. Losing to the Cowboys is worse than losing to any other team. But beating the Cowboys is more satisfying than any other team. To me it doesn't matter what round we play them, the only game that is more important is the Super Bowl.

Yup.
For much of the year, the Eagles were the best team in football, until injuries caused them to drop off a little. On our end though, we're the hottest team in the league, given our win streak, but people are going to continue to doubt Brock Purdy due to the fact that he is a Rookie, and a 7th round pick.

Eagles -3 is plain disrespect to them... any home playoff team starts with the line at -3
