This should be a good one between the two best teams in the NFC most of the season. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:00pm on Fox.

35-31 Philly
I am voting for them and it makes me throw up in my mouth to say it.

Eagles.   Just because I think a Philly/Cincy Super Bowl excites the NFL offices less than any other match-up, excepting if Minnesota and Jacksonville had made it through.

Philly is one of the best NFL markets, with one of the most passionate fan bases in the 4th largest media market (Behind NY, LA and Chicago). If the NFL had a choice, Philly is the one team of the remaining 4 the NFL would want in the SB. Plus lots of folks outside the Philly market root against the Eagles, so that brings more ratings.

I just meant hype-up wise.  It would be Cincy/SF round 3 or A KC/SF rematch from a few years ago and the league is always happy when the teams with the best records (KC and Philly) are on the big stage.  Cincy/Philly has the least amount of pizazz to it.

But the NFL doesn't get to choose.

Nope. Although based on what I see in social media, many people think the NFL is behind the scenes pulling strings and influencing results.

I know, I know .... we are all puppets and "they" have nothing better to do than pull our strings.

That's a lot points for San Fran to give up. I can't see Philly scoring that many unless they get a defensive TD (or 2).

Eagles march it down the field on their first possession with a big 4th and 3 and go on to score to lead 7-0. 

Looks like a good challenge by the Eagles it looks like a fumble and a non challenge by the 49ers May have cost them 7 on that first drive. 

The Eagles have blown a couple of chances for more points after a turnover and good field position may come back to haunt them. 

That was one heck of a run by McCaffrey for a touchdown to tie it at 7. 

Why that incomplete Eagle pass needed a challenge shows the NFL still has not got it figure out.  When a receiver calls for hurry up after that sort of play - the booth should take over. 

And then the wire on the punt.  Are you kidding?  Whoever is running that little monstrosity should get fined when that happens.
