NFL Week 4: 49ers vs. Eagles

When building a “Dream Team” in football, you should start at the offensive and defensive lines. The Philadelphia Eagles when out and got some high profile cornerbacks, signed up Michael Vick to a long-term contract and brought in some wide receiver help. Then the media dubbed the Eagles the “Dream Team.” Poor planning in Philadelphia is rapidly turning the dream into a nightmare as it has become incredibly obvious that the Philadelphia offensive line is incapable of keeping Michael Vick healthy for an entire season. Vick broke his non-throwing hand in an after-the-play tackle in week three against Giants. In week two, Vick suffered a concussion when he was slammed into one of his own offensive lineman who was standing around as Vick was getting pummeled. The dream is over in Philadelphia as the Eagles try to figure out how to win some games without getting their franchise quarterback killed.
The San Francisco 49ers is turning into a pleasant surprise this season. The Free NFL Picks in San Francisco are slowly turning in favor of the 49ers as the San Francisco defense is proving to be tougher than most people expected. First year head coach Jim Harbaugh, a former NFL quarterback, did not enter the NFL coaching ranks with a defensive pedigree. But his defense is proving to be extremely effective while the 49ers offense still struggles. The 49ers will be fishing contests off of the schedule to see how it can finish the season at 8-8. When the season started, this game was not one the 49ers could have expected to win. In light of recent events, this game is very much up for grabs.
