What Should the Spread on the 49ers vs. Eagles Game be?
After Week 1, the 49ers had a rating of 22.73 and Eagles 16.86. Adjusting for home field advantage we get a line of San Francisco -3 . The line opened at 49ers -3.5.
San Francisco beat Detroit but it wasn't easy. After building a 28-point lead, the Lions came roaring back and nearly upset San Fran.
In coach Dan Campbell's debut as head coach, Detroit scored 23 points in three-plus minutes to pull within eight points.
The Eagles had one of the biggest statement wins against Atlanta in Week 1: 32-6.
Jalen Hurts threw three touchdown passes, the first of them to Heisman Trophy winner DeVonta Smith, and the Eagles made a winner of Nick Sirianni in his head coaching debut with the rout.
What to Watch for in the Line Movement
Atlanta was the -3.5 favorite hosting the Eagles and the line hardly moved. Only briefly did the books flirt with the number 3. Heritage did not come off the -3.5 since the 9th.
San Francisco was a 9-point favorite in Detroit and missed the cover by 8. At BetOnline, this one moved from -7.5 to -9 then hit -9.5 a few minutes before kickoff (1:02 pm ET). Bovada had the number at 9.5 a few hours before gametime and Heritage was at -8.5 until 1 pm.
