PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles, after losing to the Washington Commanders on Sunday, will be back at Lincoln Financial Field next weekend for the NFL playoffs.

And the defending Super Bowl champs will do so as favorites to advance to the next round.

As of Sunday night, the Eagles are 3.5-point betting favorites to beat the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Wild Card round, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.

The over/under point total is set at 46.5 points.

The Eagles (11-6) will host the 49ers (12-5) at the Linc after losing, 24-17, to the Commanders on Sunday — and losing the NFC’s No. 2 seed in the process.

The Eagles rested most of their starters against Washington, knowing they needed to beat the Commanders with a Chicago Bears loss to the Detroit Lions in order to secure the No. 2 seed.

Nick Sirianni’s team got what it needed from Soldier Field. The Lions upset the Bears, 19-16, with a field goal as time expired. But the Eagles couldn’t hold up their end of the bargain.

If the Eagles won, they would have faced the Green Bay Packers (9-7-1) as the No. 2 seed in the NFC. Instead, the Eagles are the No. 3 seed and face the No. 6 seed 49ers.

Sirianni has a 1-2 record against the Kyle Shanahan-led 49ers. But the one win was memorable: a 31-7 beatdown at the Linc in the 2023 NFC championship game.
