San Francisco 49ers at Philadelphia Eagles Tips - 49ers to cover line

The Philadelphia Eagles shocked us last week demolishing the Atlanta Falcons 32-6.

Don’t expect the same result against a 49ers defence that will be able to not only pressure Jalen Hurts but to force him to turnover the ball multiple times.

We always like to back a team that is overcoming a major injury. Raheem Mostert, the 49ers starting running back, is out for the year after suffering a gruesome injury. We expect the 49ers running backs to put up some great yardage against an Eagles defence that allowed over 100 rushing yards in the first half to the Atlanta Falcons.

With four of the next 5 games against Playoff teams, the 49ers can not afford to drop this game. Expect the Eagles to come back down to life this week against a 49ers team that should be able to dominate them on both sides of the ball.

Verdict

SF 49ers @ PHI Eagles

As long as the 49ers don’t shoot themselves in the foot like they did last week (Up 24 with 2 minutes left but ultimately only winning by 8), they should easily win this game by a touchdown or two.
