The San Francisco 49ers vs Atlanta Falcons game will match to teams that are desperate for a win in NFL week 9. The Atlanta Falcons, 4-3 ATS, are having some internal issues to put it mildly and the 49ers just might be catching them at the perfect time to snap their 5 game losing streak. Last week San Fran, 2-5 ATS, was blown out by a surging New Orleans team at home 10-31 as +1 dogs. Sportsbook.com has Atlanta listed as -3.5 favorites at home.
The 49ers offense has been bogged down with injuries with both QB Alex Smith struggling with a sore arm and RB Frank Gore playing with an ankle injury. The 49ers offense will need Gore to step up against Atlanta if they are going to break out of their offensive funk that has them averaging only 12.6 PPG. Atlanta’s D is yielding 4.3 yards per carry and Gore could find some room to run against a depleted Falcons D-line. Sportsbook.com has the Over\Under on the San Francisco 49ers vs Atlanta Falcons game at 37 points.
San Francisco’s defense has been smoked through the air this year so this game should see plenty off passes thrown by Joey Harrington who has a decent 80.9 passer rating despite not having much time to throw behind a weak O-line. The Falcons will most likely give the ball to RB Jerrious Norwood more than Warrick Dunn due to Dunn’s lack of production. Norwood is a talent who is averaging 5.8 yards per carry so he could provide a spark.
The Falcons have been much better than the 49ers in handling the ball with a +9 turnover edge over San Fran. SanFran will be on a long flight to Atlanta to play in the indoor environment at the Georgia Dome. Bettors need to be aware of the status of 49ers starting WR Darrell Jackson who is listed as doubtful.
