MATCHUP: Philadelphia (7-3) at San Francisco (7-3) ABC-TV
WHEN/WHERE: Monday November 25th 8:30pm Eastern 3Com Park
THE LINE: San Francisco is -7 points and the total is 38 points
TRENDS/ANGLES: The Eagles are 1-3 against the pointspread on the road
this season. The over is 6-3-1 for Philadelphia this
season. The Niners are 4-1 straight-up at home. The
last three meetings between these clubs went under
the total. The Eagles have covered the spread in their
last three Monday Night Football appearances. The
Eagles are 11-4 against the spread the last 15 as an
underdog. The 49ers have covered just five of the last
15 times when favored. The Eagles are 21-10 against
the spread on the road since coach Andy Reid took over.
GAME SUMMARY: This game still will have major playoff implications,
but it has lost a lot of its luster. Eagles QB Donovan
McNabb suffered a broken ankle last week and could miss
the rest of the regular season. The 49ers blew a 10
point fourth-quarter lead last week and lost to the
Chargers in overtime. Philadelphia and San Francisco
are in first place in their respective divisions, but
both need a victory to secure their spots in the playoff
hunt. The Eagles often have been described as a one-man
team. Well, we'll find out if that's true, starting this
week, as the Eagles begin life without do-everything
quarterback Donovan McNabb.
