The San Francisco 49ers will take on the Atlanta Falcons for Week 7’s Sunday Night Football action, where we’ll see a clash between two NFC teams. The 49ers are coming off a loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and what’s worse is the Fred Warner season-ending injury, depleting the already injury riddled 49ers squad. The 49ers are now tied with the Seahawks and the Rams with a 4-2 record for each team. This means that if they end up losing this game, they could go from the top of the division, all the way to the third spot in NFC West.
The Atlanta Falcons are coming off a stunning win against the Buffalo Bills in their Week 5 action, and even though we are still not sure about how to evaluate their season, they are making some noise. They may or may not be a playoff team, but Falcons’ Bijan Robinson is having one of the best RB seasons ever.
| Recommended Bets | FanDuel | BetMGM |
|---|---|---|
| Christian McCaffrey anytime TD scorer | -175 | -190 |
| Bijan Robinson anytime TD scorer | -170 | -185 |
| Mac Jones over 0.5 INTs thrown | -152 | -125 |
Christian McCaffrey is a threat to score at any given moment, because of the offense basically running through him. Their backup QB Mac Jones is always looking for McCaffrey, whether it’s to run the football or pass. While the 49ers RB has not had the best of starts this season, he scored a TD against the Buccaneers last game, and may have found his rhythm, just enough to score a TD.
The Falcons have somehow found a way to unlock Bijan Robinson’s real potential, and now have a serious weapon on their hands. Robinson has registered 484 rushing yards, on 83 attempts, and scored TDs along with 24 receptions. The 49ers’ defensive unit is heavily depleted with injuries, and rank 14th in rushing and 15th in scoring defense. It will be a tall task to stop Robinson, who has scored two touchdowns in the last two games.
Mac Jones could throw over 0.5 interceptions as is coming off a 2 interceptions game against the Buccaneers, and looking at the Falcons’ stout defense, ranking 7th in the league, Jones might get heavily pressured or blitzed, which could make him throw an interception in this game
We believe that the Atlanta Falcons should be able to pull away with a victory. Due to the injuries suffered by the 49ers, who are without their QB1, WR1, LB, to name a few, that could just prove to be too less going against Atlanta, who are top 10 in both defense and offense.
Prediction: Falcons win the game 28-24
