Predictions On Who Will Raise The Lombardi Trophy
Raising the Lombardi Trophy at the end of the season is every NFL players dream. With that being said…
Happy postseason! We made it through our second expanded regular season schedule, and once again, the full playoff field wasn’t set until the conclusion of the 272nd and final game. This is the third postseason to feature 14 playoff participants as opposed to the previous total of 12.
In the AFC, team odds for making the Super Bowl and winning the Super Bowl are aligned, reflecting playoff seeding all the way down. But on the NFC side, Philadelphia is most likely to make it to Super Bowl Sunday, while San Francisco is most likely to lift the Lombardi Trophy.
A trip to Super Bowl LVII is on the line when the Eagles host the 49ers in a matchup between NFC’s top two seeds on Sunday afternoon at Lincoln Financial Field. Philadelphia’s in search of its first Super Bowl appearance since claiming Super Bowl LII in 2018, while San Francisco is itching to get back to the big game for the first time since suffering a heartbreaking loss in Super Bowl LIV.
The Eagles got back to their dominant ways in the divisional round, breezing to a 38-7 win over the Giants. Philadelphia dominated on both sides of the ball, holding the Giants to 227 total yards of offense on 4.4 yards per play while racking up 416 total yards on offense on 6.0 yards per play. The Eagles scored a touchdown on four of their first five offensive possessions, seizing control from the get go. Continuing that type of efficiency against a 49ers’ defense that leads the league won’t be easy, as San Francisco will be the Eagles’ toughest test of the season.
According to nfl.com The 49ers will be holding up the Lombardi trophy upsetting the favored Philadelphia Eagles on their own turf.
