3 hours ago3 hr 8 minutes ago, Diehardfan said:They really want the 49ers to winThen there is thisESPN.comOur guide to three remaining NFL wild-card games: Matchup...Niners-Eagles? Chargers-Pats? Texans-Steelers? We have picks, predictions and stats to know for every remaining wild-card game.(6) 49ers at (3) EaglesSunday, 4:30 p.m. ET | Fox | PHI -4.5 (44.5 O/U)What we're hearing on the 49ers: In an alternate universe, Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio would be working with coach Kyle Shanahan. Fangio spent time with the 49ers during the 2022 offseason, and Shanahan planned to hire him when all signs pointed to DeMeco Ryans leaving (he did, to Houston). But Fangio signed with Miami in 2023, then joined the Eagles in 2024. Now, Shanahan faces the task of scoring against a Fangio-led defense that ranks fifth in points allowed per game (19.1). "[Fangio], schematically, he has always been the best to me," Shanahan said. "... Has a very sound scheme that he doesn't need to change up very much. It just naturally changes with how he does his coverages, how he does his fronts, the personnel groupings he does. He's very good at getting a bead on what you're trying to do and making you adjust." -- Nick WagonerWhat we're hearing on the Eagles: Philadelphia was equally respectful toward Shanahan. Fangio was complimentary of Shanahan's scheme and his ability to call plays, and he noted how "everything's packaged well together" and is purposeful on offense for San Francisco. The 49ers use motion on 70% of their offensive plays, the third most in the NFL. "It's an offense that challenges your eyes and your discipline," LB Jaelan Phillips said. "If you let all of the moving pieces affect you, that's when they take advantage of people." -- Tim McManusStat to know: Since Week 7 -- the week after LB Fred Warner's ankle injury -- the 49ers are allowing opponents a 47% success rate on designed runs (third highest). Though the Eagles haven't been nearly as successful on the ground this season as they were in 2024, San Francisco's defense could present the opportunity for RB Saquon Barkley to have a big game. -- WalderBold prediction: Niners DE Bryce Huff will get a key sack. Huff is the 49ers' best shot at edge pressure, and he has a quick first step that can challenge Eagles LT Jordan Mailata. Huff has been struggling mightily of late, but expect an impassioned performance here. -- SolakMatchup X factor: Eagles S Reed Blankenship. He will be asked to play a two-way role in the secondary, limiting the middle-of-the-field targets in the 49ers' route tree while also filling the alleys to cut off RB Christian McCaffrey in the run game. Blankenship had 53 solo tackles and one interception this season. -- BowenOne bet to consider: 49ers QB Brock Purdy UNDER 1.5 passing touchdowns. The Eagles allow a league-low passing touchdown rate. And Fangio defenses historically suppress red zone passing efficiency, supporting Purdy's under. -- MaldonadoOfficiating nugget: The 49ers were the second-least-penalized team in the NFL (six per game), but they're tied for the most flags for unnecessary roughness (10). Overall, referee Alan Eck's crew threw the NFL's second-fewest flags per game this season (13). -- SeifertInjuries: 49ers | EaglesMaldonado's pick: Eagles 24, 49ers 20Moody's pick: 49ers 20, Eagles 17Solak's pick: 49ers 24, Eagles 17Walder's pick: 49ers 30, Eagles 28FPI prediction: PHI, 55.4% (by an average of 2.2 points)
