  • When: Sunday, September 19, 2021, at 10:00 PT (FOX)
  • Where: Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
  • Line: 49ers -3.5, plus / minus 50.5

Philadelphia Eagles

Jalen Hurts proved to be very capable in his first start of the season, throwing 3 touchdowns and running 62 yards, and the Eagles defense kept the Atlanta Falcons 2 field goals and 260 total yards in Atlanta.

Miles Sanders averaged 4.9 yards per carry, rushing 74 yards and taking 4 passes for 39 yards, rookie DeVonta Smith took an 18-yard touchdown pass and led the team with 71 yards of rushing. reception and 6 catches in 8 targets. New head coach Nick Sirianni and new offensive coordinator Shane Steichen set up a running game that averaged 5.6 yards per carry and totaled 173 yards on the ground.

The Eagles spent money on defense to secure Anthony Harris and defender Eric Wilson, who had 4 and 9 attacks, respectively, and new defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon’s unit fired Matt Ryan 3 times and kept him out. score and went to 164 yards.

San Francisco 49ers

Jimmy Garoppolo threw for a touchdown and 314 yards without interception, Elijah Mitchell rushed for 104 yards on 19 runs with a touchdown and Deebo Samuel led the receivers with 189 yards on 9 catches and a touchdown.

A Jared Goff selection helped gain a 31-10 lead at halftime, apparently putting the game out of reach, and new defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryan’s drive seemed to hold for most of the first half despite that Detroit was successful in making the ball run through the center and TJ Hockenson opening it constantly.

But the injury error, once again, wasted no time in lifting his ugly to the 49ers, with Raheem Mostert coming out after only two led to what would be a season-ending knee injury and Jason Verrett starting his ACL in the fourth quarter, making an already thin secondary less able to stop Detroit’s offense. Although much of it came in the trash after the changes, the Niners defense ceded 430 yards to Jared Goff and the Lions offense and 116 running yards in 24 runs.

Prediction

The loss of Jason Verrett could be considered an injury that alters the season for a 49ers defense facing uncertainty after the departure of Robert Saleh and after his performance in Detroit. San Francisco is said to be in the process of signing Dre Kirkpatrick and his secondary will need more of K’Waun Williams and rookie Deommodore Lenoir in Week 2 against the Eagles. Questions about Niners High School and the success of Jalen Hurts and Philadelphia’s offense against 32 points on the road may have helped get that total bet up to 50.5 since its opening at 45.5.

But the Eagles ’success in Week 1 faced a poor Atlanta Falcons team and the Niners defense, which finished 7th against the race and 4th against the past in 2020, is probably not as porous as it appeared. sometimes in their initial match. While Philadelphia’s defense may seem impenetrable because the Falcons have a bad offensive and offensive line, the Eagles ’defense seems to be an improved unit and should be challenging in its start.

Niners ’offense may look more powerful against a very poor Lions defense and will likely not have a similar success against a tougher Eagles defense and in the second game of the team’s career at the start. Given that the San Francisco defense has had some difficulty with the mobile quarterbacks, we don’t think the Eagles should get more than a field goal at home and if you choose a winger you can only see value in winning points with the dominion of the house.

In the last six competitions between these teams, the total has exceeded 50 only once, the rest has finished with 47 points or less. We anticipate that both offenses will focus on ball control, hopefully the Eagles will try to prevent the ball from the offense of Kyle Shanahan and Jalen Hurts out of higher risk situations by relying on Miles Sanders and the running game, and Shanahan continues to anchor his offense to the race, all of which is conducive to a lower-scoring match. To pick up: Less than 50.5

ATS season: 1-0
