Philadelphia and San Francisco are set to meet in a much-hyped NFC Championship rematch on Sunday, and the visiting 49ers are favored despite the Eagles having the NFL’s best overall record.
On Wednesday, reporters asked Coach Kyle Shanahan his thought process on the spread and whether it bothered him.

Whether it’s the addition of Javon Hargrave and Chase Young or a healthy Brock Purdy at quarterback, the 49ers are regarded as the better team, or the gambling world is looking for a lot of betting activity leading up to kickoff.
Either way, it’s just something else for this Eagles team to use as motivation.
