Let's dive into my 49ers vs Eagles player props for NFL Wild Card Sunday.
49ers vs Eagles Player Props
- AJ Brown Over 67.5 Receiving Yards (-110)
- Brock Purdy Over 0.5 Interceptions (-145)
49ers vs Eagles Prop Picks, Preview
AJ Brown Over 67.5 Receiving Yards (-110)
AJ Brown was a hot topic of conversation early in the season, as the Eagles’ star wideout opened the year with 43 receiving yards or less in 4-of-5 games, while falling short of 30 yards in three of those contests.
However, after a bunch of whining and complaining, all seems to be swell for Brown in Philly entering the playoffs.
Since Week 6, Brown has cleared 68+ receiving yards in 7-of-10 games, while reaching 80+ yards in six of those contests, and 95+ yards in five of them.
So, Brown could be in another big game against a Niners’ defense that ranks 25th in DVOA against the pass and 29th in pass rush win rate (29%).
I’ll also climb the ladder and sprinkle on Brown to record 80+ yards (+150) and 100+ yards (+300).
Pick: AJ Brown Over 67.5 Receiving Yards (-110; bet365)
Brock Purdy Over 0.5 Interceptions (-145)
The 49ers’ passing attack has come alive since Brock Purdy returned from injury in Week 11, connecting for 16 touchdown passes in seven games since coming back.
However, the return of Purdy certainly hasn't come without some bumps in the road, as he’s thrown a total of six interceptions across those seven games – and one in three straight games to close the season.
The Eagles defense will arguably be the toughest test Purdy has faced so far this season, ranked 6th in overall DVOA, 4th in DVOA against the pass, and top-10 in takeaways.
The Niners faced an elite defense in the spotlight in their regular season finale as well (Seattle), and Purdy was terrible, throwing for just 127 yards to go along with zero TDs and an interception
I think we’ll see the pressure get to Purdy on the road in Philly in this spot, likely leading to another interception.
Pick: Brock Purdy Over 0.5 Interceptions (-145; DraftKings)
