Expert Betting Tips

I will support the Philadelphia Eagles. Philadelphia does need a bit of a rebound performance after their narrow victory over the Buffalo Bills, so a compelling case could be made in either direction. In that game, the Eagles surrendered 505 yards to the Bills, along with 29 first downs and a 13-of-22 conversion rate on third-down attempts. The offense managed to be just effective enough, accumulating 378 yards (193 passing) and securing 24 first downs. As for the 49ers, they held the Seahawks to just 220 yards (132 passing) and 14 first downs in their last outing. San Francisco has been scoring well during this three-game win streak, with 27 or more points in each matchup. I could see the 49ers giving Philly some issues here, but ultimately, I like the Philadelphia Eagles to cover at home.
