The NFC side of the NFL’s postseason has been narrowed down to arguably the two best teams in the conference – the second-seeded San Francisco 49ers +2.5 (-110) and the number one seeded Philadelphia Eagles -2.5 (-110), a clash of football playmakers worth wagering on.

Watch the NFC Championship Game live on Sunday, January 29, 2023, the perfect time to make some fun futures bets and predict how your favorite team and players will do during their playoff run until the Super Bowl is settled on Sunday February 12.

This season the Philadelphia Eagles are expected by the oddsmakers to earn the title, but rookie Niners QB Brock Purdy is up to the challenge of keeping his win streak alive, so here we share our best odds and predictions to help you make the smartest bets and wisest wagers possible.

NFC Championship Pick

The San Francisco 49ers

Philadelphia Eagles -2.5 (-110)

After earning the number one NFC seed in this postseason, the 14-3 Philadelphia Eagles got to sit out the first week of the playoffs and after destroying the NY Giants last week, 38-7, oddsmakers see them as the favorites to win the conference overall on the legs and arms of scrambling QB Jalen Hurts.

San Francisco 49ers +2.5 (-110)

It was a rocky journey for the Niners this season thanks to QB injuries to Trey Lance (ankle) and Jimmy Garoppolo (foot), those hurling duties going to rookie ‘Mr. Irrelevant’ Brock Purdy who is 7-0 as San Francisco’s starter, this team with multiple playmakers for him to target, plus their number one defense is tough to score against.

Who won the NFC Championship in 2021/22?

At the end of last season, the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers faced off in the NFC to seed who would go to Super Bowl LVI, and the Rams won by a field goal, 20-17.

LA then went on to beat the Cincinnati Bengals in the Big Game by a score of 23-20, their second ever Super Bowl win, the other in 1999 when they beat the Tennessee Titans, 23-16.

NFC Championship Winner History

The NFL has had an evolving structure over the course of its existence, and over time its added more teams from various cities, and back in 1970 the NFC and AFC were created, and since then there has been a champion of each conference that earns their place in the Super Bowl.

Ever since the 1984–85 NFL playoffs, the winner of the NFC Championship Game has received the George Halas Trophy, named after the longtime owner and coach of the Chicago Bears, a charter member of the NFL, plus they receive personalized rings along with that title.

NFC Championship Winner Odds

The way modern oddsmakers express their odds might look a bit confusing but it’s a fairly simple system that’s being used.

• If the odds show a minus (–), then that amount of money must be wagered to win $100. (e.g. –150 means you must bet $150 to win $100.)
• If the odds show a plus (+), then you’d earn that amount of money on a successful $100 bet. (e.g. +150 means you make $150 on a $100 wager.)

Welcome Bonus

This is a huge benefit these days with all the new sportsbooks attempting to attract new customers, essentially FREE MONEY they give you for signing up with them to play.

The actual amount of each Welcome Bonus will vary so it pays for you to shop around, with some wise punters joining multiple sportsbooks and enjoying just as many bonuses as they can.

Payment Options

Every bettor has different financial needs so be sure the sportsbooks you use allow for whatever payment options you require because that becomes a vital part of the relationship since you’ll be transferring your money in to wager as well as withdrawing all your grand payoffs.
