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.

Things have been rough for the Giants of late, and Gabe Kapler’s frustration seemed to bubble over in the postgame scrum with reporters on Wednesday. Kapler had a testy back-and-forth with KNBR’s Giants beat reporter Danny Emerman, over a question about the inconsistency of pinch hitting for recent call-up Wade Meckler. Two days earlier, Kapler had decided not to pinch hit for Meckler, at the time playing in his first MLB game, in a high-leverage, bases loaded situation.

The notion of landing Shohei Ohtani at the trade deadline is enough to make Giants fans salivate, but it’s probably not the most likely scenario. Ohtani would cost a bunch of prospects and is going to have a ton of suitors. Not to mention, he’s a two-month rental, and the typically risk-averse Giants haven’t been the type of team under Farhan Zaidi likely to execute such a move. That said, there will be many other players to be had if San Francisco is looking to improve.
