Eagles vs. 49ers Free Pick
SAN FRANCISCO, CA (The Spread) – The 49ers will look to avoid falling to 1-3 but face a difficult challenge today when they host the Eagles at 4:25PM ET.
PHILADELPHIA: The Eagles ran their record to 3-0 last week with a 37-34 win over the Redskins. They failed to cover as 4-point home favorites but are 2-1 at the betting window this season. The over is a perfect 3-0 in Philly games, as the team ranks sixth in total offense, 2nd in passing yards, 19th in rushing and second in points scored per game at 33.7. Nick Foles has thrown for 978 yards in three games while LeSean McCoy has rushed for 175 yards and Jeremy Maclin has a team-high three touchdowns.
