Why is this line getting higher? Wasn't it just -4.5 this morning, now -5.5?? Wtf. Shouldn't Philly be favored here? Did someone get hurt on the Eagles? Did I miss something?
Sip on that plus money honey!

If you look back 49ers have not scored after half time...Foles did get hurt a little but not bad.

Bad spot and bad match-up for the Eagles. I think the patchwork OL is going to have issues vs Justin Smith, Brooks, etc. They are struggling to run the ball, which has hurt them once getting in the red zone (although fared better vs Skins). Don't see a breakout performance in the run game vs SF.
On the other side of the ball, the Eagles defense is not good...especially if Kendricks out. Casey Mathews does not belong on an NFL football field. Also, Cary Williams/Nate Allen will surely get torched for at least 1-2 big plays.
49ers 31
Eagles 23

What Defense has Foles faced all season??? JAX, IND, and WAS....time to face an NFC WEST team buddy...and the EAGLES D is straight garbage....
49ERS -5
SF - 31
PHI - 16
49er defense isn't what it used to be either... But I do think they'll play better this time and try not disappoint their fans by losing 2 straight at home. Can they win by a touchdown is the question. My gut says 49ers are up by 10 at the half. Niners begin their meltdown again. Eagles come back but just fall short of winning
Final score: 27 - 23, 49ers win...
Still waiting to see how the line moves before pulling the trigger. But most certainly going to put a small play on Eagle ML just in case and wait till game day to pick a side..

although, Philly's had 2 squeakers against relatively mild defenses. My Spidey Senses are telling me 49ers minus the 5, but Philly +15 on a teaser sounds better....
Might stay away from this game, my gut's not giving me anything....
Good Luck All

also like the Under too.
I know its almost automatic to play the Over when Eagles play but the streak has to end at some point. maybe tease the total to 40 and pick the over) I think it has to go under 51 if 49ers even have a chance to win. can't get into a shootout with Eagles.. too much firepower. Niners will be feeding the beast Frank Gore and control the clock

Preseason this line was Niners -6, which made sense as they were clearly a class above philly. It was adjusted down to 4,5 which is a definitive adjustment and usually about where vegas places lines when they don't have a strong lean in one direction or the other. The reason it's moving up is because the situation SCREAMS niners. they are off two losses and harbaugh is great off losses. Philly, meanwhile, has been digging themselves into holes and barely winning by much considering, which tends to imply there's been a little luck and some regression is due. Further, philly is off a tough fought game with a division opponent, specifically wanting to beat the much despised, egocentric, desean jackson. Perfect spot to fade the eagles. Coming into this week I expected to be on the niners, with situation totally in their favor.
all that said, I am warming to the what ifs... what if the niners are just a dumpster fire team this year? all the harbaugh drama, the personnel issues, disgruntled vets, the fact that only 2 teams tend to come out of any one division and strong indicators suggest cards and hawks. or even what if they just aren't as good as last year. even Dynasties have their off year and 3 straight years of NFC championship games almost seems like they're due for an off one.
Then the eagles... what if the second half adjustments keep coming... what if the first halves get fixed and THAT's the regression. What if the team is still in the process of improving and maximizing potential within the new schemes that chip brought to philly?
Given the season to point, this line does feel inflated. you could certainly argue that the eagles have taken a hit on the o-line, but that would have to be factored into the line at this point, which just really looks too high. all these things tell me that if you're just looking at the ML, I can't believe the niners win this game 2 out of every 3 times (2 to 1 aka +200 ML) and that alone is worth a play as we still don't know enough to dismiss the small samples that suggest philly is legitimately improved this year and the niners are legitimately a step down from last year.
The first half is absolutely a logical play given the first half tendencies of both teams, but if you believe the line may be inflated, like i do, I'd rather not have to lay a heavy price at any point of the game when I could just take the value...
PHILLY +5/ML

A powder keg is set to go off here i think. 49rs are pissed n frustrated. Theyve killed demsleves with bad penalties and 4th quarter breakdowns. Eagles trailed in every game by double digits but yet are 3-0,all comebacks in the dam 4th. Sumthing has to give today with SF. Im still wondering if Harbaugh does have control of this team?
49s need this 1 badly.
SF -4.5
