Odds from Betonline.ag
The Eagles are playing at home and have been nearly impossible to beat at home this year. However, the Eagles are also coming into the game here with a defense that has been hard to get much yardage against and that will not help the 49ers out with Purdy at the helm. The 49ers did look impressive at times in the game against Dallas, but the 49ers are going to struggle against this smothering defense. Not to mention as long as Hurts is healthy the 49ers will have some issues in containing the Philadelphia offense. Still, I see the Eagles winning, covering, and the total going on the under.
