After a hard fought battle with division rival Washington, the Philadelphia Eagles have a tough test going across country. Though the San Francisco 49ers have not been the dominating team we have seen the past couple seasons. Sitting at 1-2, they will have a sense of urgency to win before getting to far behind in the NFC West. The 49ers problem has been keeping up their pace in the second half. They have scored a combined 3 points after halftime in their first three games.
With Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles leading the league in passing, expect another second half onslaught of points. Head Coach Chip Kelly’s offense has proven to be too much for opposing defenses, wearing teams down by the 4th quarter. This may sound repetitive at this point, but with the 49ers scoring woes, the Eagles will be able to pull out a victory late in the game.
