NFL Week 13 picks: Who the experts are taking in Eagles vs. 49ers

After ten months of talking, speculations, what-ifs, and rule changes, the San Francisco 49ers will get another shot at the Philadelphia Eagles with a healthy Brock Purdy at quarterback.

It’s the return of Purdy, along with a talented skill position group that has the Niners favored on the road against a 10-1 Eagles team.

Philadelphia will be without Zach Cunningham (hamstring), while Fletcher Cox (groin) is a gametime decision.

With kickoff fast approaching, here’s a look at who the NFL experts are picking.
