The Niners have a challenge facing mobile, running quarterbacks. Their success rate against scrambling quarterbacks is only 26th in the league. Hope they're game planning for a mobile Jalen Hurts. Or possibly Hurts is still suffering from his ankle injury.
They certainly are preparing for Hurts. Problem is, it’s hard to account for a running QB.
I’m also a bit surprised by the spread. That’s essentially an even spread with Eagles getting home field bump. I figured it would be 4-5.
Not a betting man. But I’d take the Eagles and lay the 2 1/2.
