Philadelphia Eagles (-2.5) vs. San Francisco 49ers, 3 p.m. Eastern
- The Eagles are 7-3 against the spread as home favorites this season, which was the fourth-best record in the league. They’ve covered seven of 14 home playoff games since 2001, although they’ve won their last two conference championship games by a combined 48 points.
- San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan is 7-1 ATS in the postseason and has been the third-most profitable coach in the postseason over the last two decades. Since he was hired in 2017, the 49ers are 29-19 ATS as an underdog, including 3-1 ATS as a playoff ‘dog.
- Brock Purdy is 6-1 ATS since taking over as San Francisco’s starter and is just the second quarterback since the merger to win each of his first seven starts. Still, he faces a tough task on Sunday: only four rookies have ever started a conference championship game, and all four lost by at least nine points with a combined nine interceptions between them.
- The 49ers have won 12 straight games with a 10-2 ATS record during that streak. Over the last 20 years, teams riding a double-digit win streak are 4-13 ATS in the playoffs, although two of those ATS wins have come in San Francisco’s last two games.

Kansas City Chiefs vs. Cincinnati Bengals (-1), 6:30 p.m. Eastern
- Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has never been a playoff underdog, and he’s been a home underdog just once in 48 starts. He’s 7-1-1 ATS in his career as an underdog with six straight-up wins.
- Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is 20-5 ATS in his last 25 starts and 32-16 ATS in his three-year career – making him the most profitable quarterback in the NFL since he was drafted in 2020. He’s also 5-1 ATS in the postseason and 3-0 ATS/SU in three career meetings with Mahomes and the Chiefs.
- Kansas City coach Andy Reid is 19-17 ATS in his postseason career, including 6-3 ATS as an underdog. He’s just 4-5 ATS on conference championship weekend with a 1-0 ATS / 0-1 SU record as an underdog.
- The Chiefs are just the 10th home underdog in the conference championship round since the playoffs expanded in 1990. The previous nine teams went 4-5 ATS, although the last team in that spot was the 2017 Eagles (+3), who beat the visiting Vikings by 31 points.
