The Eagles are an NFL-best 10-1 and undefeated at Lincoln Financial Field this season. 

Over the last three weeks, they’ve registered big wins over the Cowboys and Bills at home and the Chiefs in Kansas City. 

And yet, Philadelphia is a home underdog ahead of the highly anticipated NFC Championship rematch against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.  

After the Eagles opened as a 1.5-point favorite, odds shifted toward the Niners, who are a 3-point favorite at FanDuel Sportsbook as of this writing. 

If that sounds rare, that’s because it is. 

It’s the first time over the last two decades that a 10-1 or better has been a home underdog in the regular season with its starting quarterback playing in the game, according to Bet Lab Sports, via Ben Fawkes on X. 

They’re just the fourth team overall to be 10-1 or better and getting points at home.

Two of those teams — the 14-1 Chiefs in 2020 and 14-1 Packers in 2011 — sat their starting quarterbacks after clinching their respective No. 1 seeds, per John Ewing of BetMGM Sportsbook. 

The fourth team was the 2004 Pittsburgh Steelers, who were starting rookie QB Ben Roethlisberger against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game.

Both teams head into Sunday’s marquee match-up as two of the top Super Bowl contenders. 

The 49ers and Eagles are currently tied at +430 (Caesars Sportsbook) for the best odds to win the Lombardi Trophy.

They are also tied for the best odds to win the NFC at +200. 

San Francisco, of course, comes into this contest looking to avenge its NFC Championship game loss in Philadelphia last season. 

Despite their 8-3 record, the Niners, at times, have looked like a better team than the Eagles. 

Their +140 point differential is second-best in the NFL while Philadelphia (+64) is seventh. 

San Francisco comes into this game having won three straight, all by at least 13 points, after getting key offensive pieces Deebo Samuel and Trent Williams back from injury.
