SBR's Mike Spector takes a look at the matchup in his early Falcons vs 49ers prediction:

Falcons +3 (-110)

"Atlanta entered Week 6 allowing the second-fewest explosive plays (14) and the fewest passing yards per game (108), which is 46 fewer than any other team. Opposing teams also have the seventh-worst EPA per dropback and sixth-worst completion percentage over expected against the Falcons defense.

Falcons head coach Raheem Morris has a much better ATS road record (21-18-1) than at home (13-25 ATS). And when his teams play on the road directly after a home game, they are 18-9-1 ATS. That includes a 22-6 outright upset as +145 moneyline underdogs of the Vikings in the Week 2 Sunday Night Football matchup this season."
