We survived a Thanksgiving week of coin-flip games thanks to a long list of favorites taking care of business (not you, Detroit Lions, New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints or Minnesota Vikings). Our reward for emerging with a solid record after Week 12?
The opportunity to try and figure out what the hell a game between the San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles will look like.
Week 13’s headliner in eastern Pennsylvania is a rematch of last year’s NFC Conference Championship — a game the Eagles won in a rout after Brock Purdy left the game with an elbow injury, backup Josh Johnson suffered a head injury and Christian McCaffrey became the only player Kyle Shanahan trusted to throw the ball more than three yards downfield. This regular season tilt offers San Francisco a chance at muted revenge — and the opportunity to make homefield advantage throughout the postseason a much more viable outcome.
That’s not the only game we struggled with picking as the calendar turns over to December. Here’s who our expert staff sees winning each game in Week 13.
