Player to watch out for in Philadelphia Eagles vs San Francisco 49ers:

  • George Kittle – 49ers

Since Brock Purdy took over as quarterback for the 49ers, George Kittle has been performing at an exceptionally high level for the team. As a major game player, it is reasonable to anticipate that he will have a very successful game. Even though the Eagles have a solid defense, Kittle is able to penetrate it and provide assistance to his rookie quarterback on a number of different occasions.

Game Prediction:

The competition between these two teams should be exciting to watch because of how closely they match up against one another. Both the 49ers and the Eagles were deserving of a spot in this championship game because they were the two best teams in the NFC.

Even though the Eagles almost probably have a better quarterback, Kyle Shanahan’s 49ers can still get the job done thanks to the experience they’ve gained from playing in games of this caliber and the guidance they receive from their head coach.

  • San Francisco 49ers to win the game and reach their second Super Bowl in the Kyle Shanahan era.
