NFL Odds at Get That Bet — Niners Need Some Second-Half Action Against Eagles

The San Francisco 49ers have certainly not shown the NFL their best stuff this season. In fact, they have been in kind of a stupor. But the Philadelphia Eagles have been one of those teams you can never count out, as they have made excellent comebacks in all three games. The Eagles, who play at as fast a pace as possible, try to beat the NFL odds at Get That Bet in action that is set to begin at 4:25 PM ET at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, where the Niners are still trying to develop a home field advantage.

The Niners were aided by some Dallas Cowboy turnovers as they won the season opener on the road, but Colin Kaepernick had some giveaways of his own as the team blew a 17-0 lead in the debut of their brand new ballpark against the Chicago Bears. Last week they went limp in the second half as they lost to the Arizona Cardinals. They have scored a grand total of three second-half points. That will absolutely have to be improved upon.

That’s because Philadelphia has accomplished something never before seen in the NFL, as they have come back from double-digit deficits to win in each of the first three games of the season. Much credit must go to Chip Kelly, who has put opposing defenses off-balance with his no-huddle attack.

In the NFL odds that have been posted on this game by the people at Get That Bet (http://www.getthatbet.com), the Niners are favored:

San Francisco 49ers -4 (-105)
Philadelphia Eagles +4 (-115)

Over 48.5 Points -110
Under 48.5 Points -110

The Eagles began the year on a rough note as they fell behind 17-0 to Jacksonville, but then scored 34 straight points, unbelievably covering the double-digit football pointspread. They came back from ten points down against Indianapolis and Washington, and quarterback Nick Foles has amassed almost 1000 yards already. And this team hasn’t even gotten LeSean McCoy busted loose yet. McCoy is averaging only 2.9 yards per carry this season, and Get That Bet patrons KNOW that there is something much better to come from him.

Since Jim Harbaugh assumed the head coaching reins, the Niners have been known for some nasty defense. But now that defense looks a little different, as they have had to re-arrange the secondary and make up for the absences of two linebackers – Aldon Smith, who has been held out due to a suspension, and NaVorro Bowman, who has an injury that will keep him out until about the middle of the season. Look at the respective figures when it comes to stopping foes on third down conversions – the Niners have given up 51.6%, while the Eagles are at 34.1%.
