Eagles battle 49ers in Week 4 odds

The Eagles and 49ers have played seven times since 2002 and San Francisco bettors only came out smiling once.

But with the QB situation flighty in Philly, is this the week the 2-1 49ers can win on the road? If history repeats itself, the Eagles will have no problem scoring, as they have averaged 35 PPG in those seven games against SF.
Michael Vick has stated he will '100%' be the starter, which gives bettors some comfort. But the way he has been knocked around in three games is uncomfortable at best and online sportsbook Sportsbook has put on odds on whether he will be removed from the game with an injury in Week 4 and the 'no' is a surprise -250 line.
