Saints vs 49ers Prediction
The 49ers are the better team, as many expected the Saints to be the worst team in the league. However, the 49ers are starting the season with back-to-back road games, and a win over the Seahawks doesn’t make us forget the questions with this team and how last year played out. McCaffrey is still gimpy and George Kittle is now on the IR.
The 49ers are 6-10 ATS in their last 16 games when favorites of 3 or more points, and 7 of those failed covers were outright losses. The Saints put up a fight against the Cardinals opening week, and they have a major edge with not having to travel. The 49ers have depth issues on defense and injury concerns on offense to just throw these numbers out on the road. I’ll grab the points with the Saints at home.
