The 49ers (14-4) beat the visiting Dallas Cowboys 19-12 on Sunday in a divisional-round game. The Eagles (15-3) advanced by routing the New York Giants 38-7 on Saturday in Philadelphia.

Bengals vs Chiefs Early Odds & Prediction

The teams also met on Dec. 4 in Cincinnati during the regular season with the Bengals winning 27-24. That is part of their current 10-game winning streak. The Chiefs have won six in a row since that loss.

Joe Burrow threw two touchdown passes to lead the Bengals to victory over the Bills on Sunday on a snowy field. Both TDs came in the first quarter, a 28-yarder to Ja’Marr Chase and a 15-yarder to Hayden Hurst.

The Bengals defense turned in a strong effort, holding Josh Allen to no touchdown passes.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes sustained a high ankle sprain in Saturday’s win over the Jaguars but is expected to play Sunday. Though he missed 13 snaps, Mahomes finished with 195 yards passing and two touchdown passes.

Travis Kelce had a career-high 14 receptions for 98 yards and two TDs. Rookie Isiah Pacheco rushed for 95 yards.

The Bengals proved they could win a big game in Kansas City last January and look like a live underdog again in the rematch.

Pick: Bengals +2.5 (-105)

49ers vs Eagles Early Odds & Prediction

The 49ers will bring a 12-game winning streak into the NFC Championship Game. The Eagles have won three consecutive games following a two-game losing streak.

Christian McCaffrey scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 2-yard run on the first play of the fourth quarter to lift the 49ers over the Cowboys on Sunday. The 49ers scored their other points on four Robbie Gould field goals.

Rookie quarterback Brock Purdy had a solid game. He connected on 18 of 28 passing attempts for 215 yards with no turnovers.

Jalen Hurts threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score to lead the Eagles over the Giants on Saturday. He was 16-of-24 passing for 154 yards.

Hurts capped each of the Eagles’ first two possessions with TD throws, 16 yards to Dallas Goedert and 9 yards to DeVonta Smith.

The Eagles were impressive against the Giants. However, but the 49ers defense is good enough to slow down Hurts and the Philadelphia offense and pull the small upset.

Pick: 49ers +100 ML
