Play the home team this Sunday when the Eagles take on the 49ers in San Francisco.
We thought that the 49ers would be improved this season, but they have looked even better than we expected.
Apparently the addition of Larry Allen to the offensive line has made the entire unit that much better. Now that he finally has some protection, quarterback Alex Smith is showing what he can do this year, passing for 521 yards on a very good 8.40 yards per pass attempt without being intercepted yet.
The San Fran offense has also been dangerously balanced as the 49ers are averaging 117.0 rushing yards per game on an impressive 4.6 yards per carry. This will be a pesky club all year, and the Niners are very dangerous getting this many points at home here vs. an overrated Philadelphia team.
The Eagles suffered a fourth-quarter meltdown at home vs. the Giants last week, blowing a 24-7 lead and losing 30-24 in overtime. The defense is not what it once was, and the offense took a blow when the oft-injured Brian Westbrook injured his knee again. While wide receiver Donte Stallworth is a valuable addition, the Eagles need to get their running game going in order for Stallworth to stretch opposing defenses. With Westbrook hobbled, we do not see that happening here, which could put the 49ers in line for the outright upset.
