Philadelphia Eagles vs San Francisco 49ers Preview
The two best teams in the NFC this season face off for the George Halas Trophy and it looks like we might be in for a defensive struggle.
Between them they allowed a combined 19 points in the Divisional Playoffs and with major question marks surrounding both quarterbacks, we could see them teeing off.
Jalen Hurts made a strong return from injury but there was a clear desire to avoid taking a big hit and a bit of hesitancy surrounding his shoulder.
Getting that game under his belt would have been good for his confidence, but you can guarantee his tentativeness would have been noted by the San Francisco front seven.
On the other side, we all know the Brock Purdy story and how great the rookie is performing relative to expectations, but Dallas made life really tough on him and the Eagles defence is well positioned to do the same.
For the first play in this game, the under looks to be the way to go with 20 points likely enough to record a win.
Purdy had several passes that could have been picked off in both playoff games and at some point that good fortune has to run out.
Even with the plethora of pass catchers to target, he is going to have a very hard time getting the ball out to them if he is running for his life.
Should the Eagles find a way to take an early lead and force the 49ers to play catch up, it will make life even tougher on the visitors.
With the crowd at their backs and a line of less than a field goal, the Eagles just look like they have enough to see off a talented opponent.
It will then come down to the arm of Jalen Hurts, as the few teams that have found success against the 49ers have done so by throwing the ball.
On the big stage, Hurts should be able to move the ball by getting it in the hands of the likes of AJ Brown, Devonta Smith and Dallas Goedert.
We’ll back him to have a productive day through the air as he takes over the game.
For our 49ers player bet, there’s a bit of an injury cloud over Christian McCaffrey which suggests we might see a bit more of Elijah Mitchell.
He’s tallied over 50 yards on the ground alone in four of his last six games so take a flyer on him to be the primary option at a price, especially when McCaffrey’s totals in the same market are double that.
