Vickless Eagles at 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers host the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night in a game that will be televised on NBC.
The 49ers were expected to be the team to beat in the NFC West this season but they have again struggled on offense and continue to make mistakes. On the other side, the Eagles have to go back to Kevin Kolb at quarterback as Michael Vick is out with an injury.
San Francisco is a 3-point favorite with a total of 38 at Bookmaker.com.
The 49ers have a number of issues but what stands out again this season is the poor play at quarterback. Alex Smith leads the league with seven interceptions but for some inexplicable reason he still has the confidence of his head coach, Mike Singletary. If the 49ers lose this game to go 0-5 it could be Singletary who is looking for work.
The Eagles are not very confident in their starting quarterback this week either. Kevin Kolb will get the start because Vick is out with a rib injury. Kolb has not played well this football betting season but he is getting another chance with Vick out.
Philadelphia might also be without running back LeSean McCoy who will be a game time decision with a rib injury. If Kolb gets time to throw he could have some success against a San Francisco defense that is 20th in the league in passing yards allowed per game.
The 49ers hold the all-time series lead at 16-11-1 against Philadelphia but they have lost the last four against the Eagles including last year. Philadelphia has also won the last three at San Francisco. Here are more betting stats for Sunday’s game:
