San Francisco blew out the Eagles, and that was the beginning of a rough decline.

D'Andre Swift has had the best year of his career. Swift has scampered for 1,049 yards, which ranks fifth in football.
The Eagles will be without their star receiver, AJ Brown, tonight, which means they will need DeVonta Smith to step up.

Philadelphia Eagles vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers Pick
The line screams Philly tonight.
As you all know, I am an Eagles fan, and I have said I do not see this team going all that far, but this is a favorable matchup.
Tampa is not an explosive offensive team, as they rank 20th in points per game (20.5).
The Bucs' offense has struggled over their last three games, averaging 17.3 ppg.
