Pick
This should be a fantastic game to watch between two teams that have had great seasons so far. Philadelphia will have the home field advantage, where they made the Giants look terrible last week. San Francisco was able to force a couple of timely turnovers in their win against Dallas, but they are going to have to play better if they want to win this game. I think Philadelphia is going to win this game and I am taking them here. The Eagles looked dominant last week and I think they will be able to slow down Brock Purdy and the 49ers offense in this game.
