The Eagles (10-1) defeated the Bills, 37-34 in an overtime thriller on Sunday, while the 49ers (8-3) beat the Seahawks, 31-13 on Thanksgiving night.

Why the 49ers can cover
In the three games since their bye week, San Francisco has looked absolutely dominant, winning by 31, 13 and 18 points. Star running back Christian McCaffrey leads the NFL in rushing/receiving touchdowns with 16, after a two touchdown performance against Seattle. In the Thanksgiving night game, McCaffrey rushed 19 times for 114 yards and caught five passes for 25 yards. If he remains healthy, teams likely won’t have an answer to slow him down in this potent offense.
Quarterback Brock Purdy has been excellent since the 49ers’ three game midseason losing streak. Against the Seahawks, he didn’t have to do the heavy lifting, throwing for only 209 yards and a touchdown on 21 of 30 passing with one interception. Purdy was injured early in last year’s NFC Championship Game loss and seemingly wants a bit of revenge against the team who denied San Francisco a spot in last year’s Super Bowl.

Why the Eagles can cover
Philadelphia has been playing with fire of late, having won each of its last four games by one possession. In Sunday’s dramatic overtime victory over Buffalo, Jalen Hurts solidified himself atop the current MVP leaders by throwing for 200 yards and three touchdowns and rushing for two more. On the season, Hurts has thrown for 18 scores and rushed for 11 more, most of which have come via the rugby-style play known affectionately as “The Brotherly Shove.”
After a six game stretch with 125 or more receiving yards, star Philadelphia wide receiver A.J. Brown has been quiet of late, combining for only 111 yards and two touchdowns over the last three games. With tight end Dallas Goedert out the last two weeks, the Eagles No. 2 receiver, Devonta Smith, has lines of 6-99-0 and 7-106-1 after posting only two 99+ yard performances in the season’s first nine games. Against a stout 49ers defense, the Eagles will need to be crisp on offense and Hurts will likely need to target Brown and Smith early and often. See which team to pick here.
