The Philadelphia Eagles have dropped consecutive games entering this home contest Sunday<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

San Francisco is 2-0-1 ATS on the year and came away with a 13-8 win over the Cincinnati Bengals last week as 1.5-point road underdogs.\u00a0 The 49ers offense has been terrible this year, which has led to the team being out-gained in all three contests this year.\u00a0 The defense has carried this team, especially in allowing just 228 total yards versus the Bengals.\u00a0 The unit will face a huge test in facing a versatile Philadelphia offense that possesses quarterback Michael Vick.\u00a0 \u201cWe all know he\u2019s a play-maker and can make a difference in the game,\u201d commented 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis.\u00a0 San Francisco is 7-8 ATS on the road and 0-2 ATS versus the NFC East division.<\/p>\n

The 49ers are needing a big game from running back Frank Gore, but he\u2019s coming off an ankle injury that hampered him last week versus the Bengals.\u00a0 San Francisco will likely still go to the run due to Philadelphia coming into the contest as the 30th-ranked defense against the run.\u00a0 The team will be looking for consecutive road wins for the first time since 2006.\u00a0 It\u2019s never easy to travel east, but the franchise may have done a smart thing by remaining in Ohio for a week after its win over Cincinnati.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia has lost consecutive games since picking up a season-opening win over the St. Louis Cardinals.\u00a0 The Eagles have out-gained all three of their opponents this year and will likely bounce back against an opponent it has beaten five-straight times.\u00a0 Philadelphia came away with a 27-24 win in last year\u2019s meeting as three-point road underdogs, holding the 49ers to just 74 rushing yards.\u00a0 Kevin Kolb got the start under center that game, but now he\u2019s in Arizona.\u00a0 Over the last two-plus seasons, the team is 14-13 ATS as a favorite and 8-10 ATS at home.<\/p>\n

The Eagles will likely hand the ball off plenty to running back LeSean McCoy, who leads the NFC with 345 rushing yards through three games.\u00a0 He is averaging an incredible 6.1 yards per carry and leads the entire league with four rushing touchdowns.\u00a0 Offensively, Vick is nicked up with a bruised non-throwing hand, but has been vocal in saying that he\u2019ll be ready to go.\u00a0 \u201cI just want to be there for my teammates,\u201d he commented this week.\u00a0 The dual-threat quarterback has thrown for 605 yards and four touchdowns with two interceptions.<\/p>\n

Bettors will likely back the Eagles due to their 7-1 ATS mark after a double-digit loss, while the 49ers are 1-6-1 ATS after a straight-up win.<\/p>\n
