Here is yet another proof that Daniel 9 70 weeks is to be understood as literally 490 days in the future.
And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall be cut off and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end shall come with a flood, and to the end there shall be war. Desolations are decreed.
What are the days of Noah (the days of the "flood")? 17 Iyyar to the next year's 27 Iyyar. (May -ish)
What is the winter sabbath day that brings "great tribulation"/ (cuts off the daily sacrifice)? The 10th of Tevet, the day when Babylon attacks. The "abomination of desolation" is the army of the king of the north/ Babylon surrounding Jerusalem. Here is the parallel verse in Luke 21
20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
The armies start cutting off the food supply to Jerusalem, which culminated in the sacrifices being stopped at 17 Tammuz (July-ish). This action started at 10th of Tevet.
The "great tribulation" starts on the 10th of Tevet. Now add 490 days to get the end of the "days of Noah" - 27 Iyyar!
Look for yourself (this is just an example, some years it works some not with Adar II intercalation month): Add or subtract to a date ? results

Here is some more info on the days of Noah - you can see that the last 56 days correspond to the last 56 days of the 70 weeks (ie after 62 weeks, from the 63rd to end of the 70 weeks = 8 weeks).

14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
[...]
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
