Thoughts: The 49ers defeated the Green Bay Packers last week while the Falcons hung on to take down the Seattle Seahawks. Many people believe the 49ers are the better team here but I wouldn’t count out Atlanta as that win over Seattle could spark this team. In the end, the 49ers win a close one but I’d take Atlanta with the points as well as the over.
