Update (1/21/25): New betting offers have been released for the NFC Championship. Learn what's changed.
The Philadelphia Eagles will host the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday, with kickoff set for 3 p.m. EST at Lincoln Financial Field.
This week, uncertainty surrounding Jalen Hurts’ availability has dominated discussions leading into the highly anticipated matchup. Hurts, who has been pivotal to the Eagles' offense, appeared to sustain a knee injury during the team’s divisional-round win over the Los Angeles Rams. While he finished the game, Hurts was visibly limited, completing 15 of 20 passes for 128 yards and rushing for 44 yards, including a 44-yard touchdown.
“Tough game, a challenging game,” Hurts said after the Eagles’ 28-22 victory. “I was able to finish the game. We’ll see how the week goes.”
Despite his cautious remarks, Hurts expressed confidence that he would suit up against Washington. His health, however, remains a significant question mark as the Eagles prepare for their third meeting with the Commanders this season.
Philadelphia will likely lean on Saquon Barkley if Hurts is less than 100%. Barkley delivered a dominant performance against the Rams, rushing for 140 yards and two touchdowns, including a game-clinching 78-yard score. Barkley’s explosive plays may again prove critical to the Eagles’ success on Sunday, particularly if Hurts is limited in his mobility.
“Rain, sleet or snow, [Barkley] has been able to pound, pound, pound, and then take it off,” Hurts said of his teammate.
"Rain, sleet or snow, he's been able to pound, pound, pound, and then take it off. That was fun. That was cute, I said, being able to pop it off first for once. … Saquon needed a break, so I said I'd do it first."
These NFC Championship developments prompted Dimers’ analysts to revisit their Eagles vs. Commanders predictions and player stat projections, incorporating updated information about Hurts’ injury.
At present, our’ analysts believe Hurts is more likely to play than not, and he has been included in the new simulations.
