America’s Game of the Week heads to the City of Brotherly Love this Sunday for a showdown between the Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers.
You can watch all the action of the big game at 4:25 pm ET on FOX and the FOX Sports App.
Las Vegas bookmakers expect a ton of betting interest for several reasons. Not only are two of the NFL’s best teams locking horns, but you’ve also got two very efficient quarterbacks and a rematch of last year’s NFC Championship.
Action will be plentiful, to say the least.
“Wise guys laid San Francisco -2.5 with me [Thursday] morning,” South Point sportsbook director Chris Andrews told FOX Sports. “I’m sure I’ll write some back at +3. Philly will get that respect at home at a full three.”
It’s crystal clear Andrews and his bookie buddies have more respect for San Francisco despite Philadelphia having only one loss over 10 games. That’s because rankings and records don’t matter much to the guys behind the counter.
Power ratings rule the roost.
“I have the Niners as the best team in the NFL,” Andrews declared. “They hit that trough in late October and lost three in a row, but they were really beat up. When healthy, they’re 2.5 points better than anybody on a neutral field.”
The Eagles remain a polarizing team among the sharp cats in the desert. I know a handful of people who think they’ve been downright lucky, while others applaud their ability to win tight games against good teams.
Maybe both things are true?
“They’ve found ways to win all year,” Andrews said. “It’s not just the last two games. Those were significant victories against Kansas City and Buffalo. Only two teams have beaten those two – Philadelphia and Denver.”
Could Eagles close wins cost them vs. 49ers?
Is it the 49ers and Eagles vs. the field?
Some believe the Dallas Cowboys have a chance to crash what feels like an inevitable Niners-Eagles party…
