The Eagles are fresh off another thrilling win vs. a good team, but it’s not enough to make them favorites for a rematch of the NFC Championship Game this upcoming Sunday. Most books have San Francisco as -2.5 pointfavorites vs. the Eagles in Philly, a fairly notable line considering the Eagles have the best record (10-1) in the NFL. They are also coming off wins vs. the Cowboys, Chiefs and Bills. That said, the argument for the 49ers being favored is fairly straightforward.

Wednesday was nearly the most impressive win of the Warriors’ young season. Instead, Golden State came up just short vs. the defending champion Denver Nuggets, losing a 108-105 thriller to close out a four-game road trip. Fighting tired legs and the absence of Draymond Green, the Warriors had two chances to tie the game in the final seconds. Down by five late, Steph Curry hit a wild, 34-foot runner 3 to cut the Denver lead 107-105 with 18 seconds remaining.
