The Philadelphia Eagles (6-1) are coming off of a 34-24 Week 7 victory over the Washington Redskins on Monday night. Prior to the win, Philadelphia was already a heavy favorite over its Week 8 opponents – the winless San Francisco 49ers (0-7). The two teams meet on October 29 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia and the 49ers, coming off of a 40-10 beating at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys, still seek that elusive first victory of the season.

On Monday, Vegas oddsmakers had the Eagles listed anywhere from 10.5- to 12-point favorites over the 49ers, according to various casinos and betting sites. The high in that range increased to 14 points following the Eagles' victory over Washington. The over/under for Sunday's game is listed at 47.5 points.

San Francisco heads into the matchup with rookie quarterback C.J. Beathard starting just his second NFL game while Philadelphia has second-year quarterback Carson Wentz, who has thrown for 1,852 yards, 17 touchdowns, and four interceptions this season.

The 49ers came out victorious in their last two matchups with the Eagles. However, prior to that, Philadelphia won five straight, which tied the longest streak in the series (the 49ers won five-straight from 1984 through 1992).

The 49ers and Eagles kick off at 10:00 a.m. PT/1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday.

Is new 49ers backup QB Josh Dobbs an upgrade over Sam Darnold?

By Marc Adams
Mar 24

In 2022, the San Francisco 49ers seemed to have an embarrassment of riches at the quarterback spot. They had second-year player, and first-year starter Trey Lance, who they had traded the world away to draft. They had Jimmy Garoppolo, the team's starting QB from late 2017-2021, as Lance's backup. And they had a seventh-round draft pick in Brock Purdy, though he would be unlikely to play. Or so we thought. After Lance and Garoppolo went down, Purdy surprised everyone by keeping the ship afloat and leading the 49ers back to the NFC Championship Game. But after an injury to the UCL in his throwing arm, Purdy's 2023 season was in jeopardy. Which quarterbacks the 49ers would take to training camp was now even more important. They still had Lance, but they added Brandon Allen and

Details emerge on 49ers' 1-year deals with Jon Feliciano and Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles

By Site Staff

Offensive lineman Jon Feliciano and linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles recently re-signed with the San Francisco 49ers on one-year deals. OverTheCap.com has revealed the contract information for both deals. Feliciano signed a contract that includes the minimum base salary for a player with eight accrued seasons of experience—$1.21 million. Flannigan-Fowles' base salary is slightly higher, at about $1.77 million. Feliciano is scheduled to count about $2.28 million against the 2024 salary cap, while Flannigan-Fowles is slated to consume almost $1.3 million. The linebacker's reduced impact is due to the 49ers using a portion of up to $1.45 million of salary that won't count against the salary cap for veteran players. The 49ers are paying Feliciano a
