Why the Falcons can cover
Atlanta opened the season with consecutive heartbreaking losses to the Saints and Rams, but the Falcons bounced back with wins over Seattle and Cleveland. The Falcons fell into a 21-0 hole at Tampa Bay last week before scoring 15 straight points to close the game. They have covered the spread in all five of their games this season, making them the most profitable team in the NFL.
Defensive tackle Grady Jarrett is off to a phenomenal start, leading the team with 3.5 sacks and five tackles for losses after signing a $51 million contract extension. Atlanta is facing a thin San Francisco secondary that is without starting cornerback Emmanuel Moseley and safety Jimmie Ward.
Why the 49ers can cover
Atlanta quarterback Marcus Mariota has been held under 200 passing yards in three of his five games this season. The Falcons are without starting running back Cordarrelle Patterson, severely limiting what the offense will be able to achieve on Sunday. In addition, San Francisco leads the NFL in total defense and rushing defense.
The 49ers have been solid offensively of late as well, scoring 24 points against the Rams and 37 points against the Panthers. Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has five touchdown passes and just one interception, while running back Jeff Wilson Jr. is averaging 5.1 yards per carry. San Francisco has covered the spread in eight of its last 10 games and matches up well with Atlanta in this contest.
