The 2025 NFC Championship Game is set. The Philadelphia Eagles will host the Washington Commanders on Sunday, January 26 with kickoff set for 3 p.m. ET. The Eagles started as 5.5-point favorites on FanDuel Sportsbook in hypothetical lines heading into the Eagles Divisional Round win over the Rams. The total opened at 48.5.
UPDATE: Shortly after the game ended, the line reopened with the Eagles as 4.5-point favorites. The points total reopened at 47.5. The Eagles are a -245 favorite and the Commanders are a +200 underdog.
The Eagles reached the NFC Championship for the second time in three seasons. They beat the seventh-seeded Packers 22-10 in the Wild Card round after knocking out Jordan Love three times. They followed that up with a 28-22 win over the Rams in the divisional round. They forced two fumbles in the fourth quarter and Saquon Barkley had a 78-yard touchdown run to provide the insurance needed to secure the victory.
This is Washington’s first trip to the NFC Championship since 1992. That year, they beat the Lions in the title game before beating the Bills in the Super Bowl. They will look to pull off their third straight upset and advance to Super Bowl LIX. They beat the third-seeded Buccaneers 23-20 in the Wild Card round, then knocked off the top-seeded Lions 45-31 in the divisional round. Jayden Daniels has been the key to Washington’s success. He became the first player since the merger to throw for over 250 passing yards and over 2 passing touchdowns without an interception in each of his first two playoff games.
This will be only the second time these division rivals have met in the postseason. In 1991, Washington visited Philadelphia in the Wild Card Round and won 20-6. They also lead the all-time series 90-86-6 and the two teams split their 2024 regular season matchups.
