49ers vs. Eagles Free Pick
(The Spread) – The Eagles have dropped two straight but will look to get back on track this Sunday when they host the 49ers.
NFL Odds: Oddsmakers have installed the Eagles as 9-point favorites over the 49ers, while the over/under for today’s 1:00PM ET kickoff is currently sitting at 44 points. The visiting Niners are 2-1 on the year and 2-0-1 against the spread while the Eagles are 1-2 and 1-2 ATS.
Line Movement: The line was slow to come out at most books because oddsmakers were waiting to hear the status of quarterback Michael Vick. But all indications are that he will play after suffering a bruised hand last Sunday in a loss to the Giants. The current point spread at the Las Vegas Hilton is the same as when it opened earlier in the Week: Philadelphia –9. The over/under total has dropped a touch and is now 44 after opening at 44.5.
Public Betting: Of the 4,700-plus wagers on today’s game, 50% of NFL public bettors currently favor the 49ers -9. This information is subject to change leading up to kickoff, however, so make sure you click on the link provided for the most up-to-date NFL public betting numbers.
NFL Week 4 Free Pick: Take the Eagles. This is a must win for Philadelphia, which has lost two straight after Vick was knocked out in losses to Atlanta and New York. The Eagles looked horrible last Sunday against the Giants, allowing their division rivals to strike for big plays both through the air and on the ground. Expect a much better effort from Philadelphia’s defense this Sunday as it takes on a San Francisco team that has to travel cross-country for the second straight weekend. According to latest NFL trends, the Niners are 0-5 against the spread in their last five games against the Eagles, while the favorite is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. San Francisco is also 1-9-2 against the number in its last 12 games following an ATS win while the Eagles are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games following a double-digit home loss.
