The 49ers will enter the NFC Championship Game rematch with an 8-3 record, trailing the top-seeded Eagles by two games in the NFC playoff picture.
A 49ers victory at Lincoln Financial Field would improve their record to 9-3 and drop the Eagles to 10-2. While San Francisco would still be one game behind Philadelphia in the race for home-field advantage, it would now possess the all-important head-to-head tiebreaker.
The Eagles would still maintain control, but Kyle Shanahan's squad could capitalize on any late-season stumble by Philadelphia.
A Week 13 Eagles win would be significant for the Philadelphia team. They would improve their record to 11-1 and drop the 49ers to 8-4, effectively ending San Francisco's hopes of securing home-field advantage and the coveted playoff bye week.
A 49ers loss would also benefit the Detroit Lions, who have an identical 8-3 record and are hot on the heels of San Francisco for the second seed.
The Eagles will host the 49ers on Sunday, December 3, at 1:25 p.m. PT (4:25 p.m. ET).
