The two overarching storylines of youthful quarterbacks and good offense against good defense have this one shaping up to be a playoff classic.

Both Jalen Hurts and Brock Purdy — 24 and 23 years old, respectively — look poised for exciting careers in the league and come into this hitting on all cylinders.

Hurts looked fresher than expected in Philly’s relatively easy win against New York. Purdy was efficient and careful in San Francisco’s win over Dallas.

Philadelphia was one of the more impressive offenses throughout the year, ranking in the top three of points per game and total yards per game during the regular season. San Francisco, meanwhile, was smothering defensively, holding opponents to fewer than 17 points a game and just 300 total yards on average during the regular season.

The Eagles tore through the beginning of the season, going undefeated through the first eight weeks, and the Niners finished the year hot, winning 10 games in a row heading into the postseason.

Tight end George Kittle has been a clutch target for Purdy so look for him to put up solid yards and one score.

Philly is a narrow favorite, -2.5, in this home game with the O/U at 45.5. Both teams have been able to score well in one-sided games but, given how evenly matched these two are, this one will likely stay close.

In the end, defense wins championships. Back San Francisco in this one to squeak out another tough win against the NFC’s top seed as Kittle comes in clutch again.
