San Francisco 49ers vs. Atlanta Falcons Prediction
I’m on the 49ers here. The 49ers just look like a team that’s prepared to walk over anyone that gets in their way and maybe it was good that they faced some adversity in that close call against the Commanders last week. Atlanta’s defense has been shaky all season long and I look for that to keep strong here as the 49ers get the job done in this one.
