NFL Betting: 49ers vs. Eagles Preview and Free Pick

If you’re wondering why every dog in America was seen wagging its tail last Sunday, it likely had something to do with the fact that Michael Vick was reported to have suffered a broken right hand in the Eagles’ stunning loss to the Giants.

The Philadelphia Eagles play against the San Francisco 49ers this Sunday October 2nd at Lincoln Financial Field.

While word came back the hand was simply bruised and he’ll likely be under center this week, the howling you’re likely to hear from this dog this Sunday is the fact that Andy Reid is 18-3 ATS in games off a SU favorite loss in which his team lost to the spread by more than 8 points.

NFL betting pick: Eagles over 49ers by 17.

With Philly (1-2 SU and 3-0 ITS – In The Stats) having bagged the cash each of the last five games in this series and phony Frisco (2-1 SU and 0-3 ITS) just 1-7 ATS with revenge against opponents off back-to-back losses, we’ll cast a strong eye on the hungry hosts in this 1:00 PM ET west coast roast.

And that’s the tail end of this story.
