49ers -3 in Atlanta is a joke

[lakerboy]

Same people who will bet -3.5 49ers are holding Superbowl futures on Seahawks.

Well at least they will win on the niners -3.5.

[rockhardfister]

If Atlanta happens to get a dd lead on San Fran,you can count on the same Damn conservative game plan from ATL,hell that's nothing new,that's how ATL has been playing for YEARS,never have had a Killer instint. But I don't think we will have to worry about that.I don't think Harbaugh will allow his team to have Jet Lag like Seattle did.He will have them READY!I have watched Atlanta play for 40 plus years and they always seem to BLOW it when they do RARELY have the chance to do something special.PLEASE SAVE YOUR $$$$ and DO NOT WASTE YOUR $$$$$ on these BIRDS! SAN FRAN's gonna STOMP their ASS! $$$EASY MONEY $$$$$

Been a fan since 1980 so I know where you are coming from, however, its a home game in our Dome which will be louder than it was last night. This is the same SF team that got skull drug by Seattle on the road a few weeks ago. The GA Dome will be louder. Its one game for all the marbles and anything can happen. We havent been blown out at home all year, yet you think that this is the week? Here's what I think. The monkey is off our backs now. We are playing with house money and still getting no respect. We are 100% healthy...not sure if Abe is OK but I assume he will be by game time. We will play loose and open up the play book even more. Nolan will devise a game plan for Kapernick and Falcons will shut down the run...again. Does anyone seem to remember that Lynch did shit last night. We will win the turnover battle and win the game. See yall in NO.

[icancount2one]

This sounds an awful lot like the argument we heard all week for SEA.

I had Seattle at +3, and don't forget ATL needed a lot of luck to win today. Now they're going up against the Seahawks' big brothers who had a bit of a longer week and a much easier win.

[mngambler]

5 bills on Niners -3...don't over think this boys Niners are better on both sides of the ball

[no1here]

I can't decide on either. My thoughts are low scoring close game.

[SmittyZ28]

No playoff win monkey off the back and a 3.5 home dog in a championship game at even money??? Think the game is close to a coin flip but someone please explain to me why there is not HUGE value in a 3.5 home dog in the NFC championship???

Home dog extra motivation?

[BigDeem5]

Here's the thing..

Atlanta has won 1 PLAYOFF Game with these fools, and you think all the sudden they will put together a run?

Kaepernick will go on the road, no problem. He is head and shoulders above a normal rookie Quarterback. Russell Wilson torched ATL after a putrid 1half. Kaepernick will watch the tape, and do it from the 1st qtr on.

I agree with you but that is 1 more win than they had yesterday morning. Listen SF is legit and as much as I have been waiting for and wanting Kapernick to fail he hasnt, kid is legit. He can be beaten though, Fisher made him look bad in St Louis, and the Falcons have a top 10 pass defense that forces turnovers, and SF had the 29th ranked pass D during the regular season. Also, Turner and Gonzalez are on a mission.

That dome was loud as hell yesterday, cant even imagine what it will be like this weekend. SF DB are going to have a very tough time shutting down the big ATL receivers, Seahawks got burned most of the day and their secondary. When teams are evenly matched you take the points ESPECIALLY if those points are with the home team.

Anyone this this line goes to 4? Thinking 3.5 is the ceiling with the books throwing even money on it

[Serbone]

This is what everybody said before todays game to. How did that work out?

Nope.
Different.
Falcons were very, very fortunate that Seattle did not score in the 1st half. Lucky. Seattle should have scored 10-21 maybe more. Botched it, it happened, football luck.
AND Seattle was on back to back cross country road trips, wheras SF had a bye then played a nice home game.
Seattle got behind and had to abandon their running game and still came back with 28 pts in the 2nd half (and covered by the way). Wilson ripped Falcons apart for 385 passing yards.
Football luck + Frisco is better than Seattle.
SO not the same.



(If Sea-Atl played again this weekend, I would take Seattle + 3 and triple my bet from this weekend. Would you take the Falcons...no you wouldn't.)

And Atlanta will watch the tape of 49ers game and prepare accordingly. We have DVR's in Flowery Branch and big screen TV's!

[Adm. Cowpollock]

San Fran 34
Atlanta 17

with domination on both sides of the ball from start to finish

you look at the game like that? i thought the falcons played great football the first half and then came out flat the second half and almost lost. they were up 20- 0 because they outplayed seattle, it wasn't lucky. they should have had 3 points, not 0. the second half though, that was just disappointing, and seattle played way better. so a game of two halfs w/ a crazy ending and the line where it should have been.

seattle got 3 more first downs, and 100 more yards
the things the falcons did well were zero sacks for seahawks and shutting down marshawn lynch. also had the ball for 3 more minutes than seahawks

but i think niners could beat falcons bad if they want

Seattle was flat in the first half. Young team, 2nd cross USA road trip jet lag (3 hour game), big hostile crowd, rested Falcons, etc.
Well, to answer your statement about "how I looked at it":
Lynch fumbled on about the 30 and later Seattle had the ball twice around the 10, went 3rd and one and 4th and one and did not give it to Lynch. Then late in the second half they were there and Wilson took a sack and time ran out. Since they gained yardage at will I would say that under normal circumstances the Seahawks should have scored 10-21 pts at half instead of 0 but it was bad luck and poor coaching/clock management/execution that they normally would produce. Sure, hard to say definitely.
Again, if they played next week, who would take Falcons - 3? Not I.

[pavyracer]

Atlanta had their worst game of the season and still beat the Seahawks.

[edawg]

Surprised to see 49ers as road chalk thought game would come out as PK. However championship and superbowl lines are usually pretty tight so this should truly be a coin flip either way.

[freakydave]

Blowout. Frisco will roll by 17+.
Seattle literally blew the Atlanta playoff game in the first half when Lynch fumbled on the 30, then twice on the 10 yrd line Seattle did not score. 3rd and 1, 4th and one, and time ran put at halftime. Coulda had 10-21 pts at half on that alone, wound up with 0.
After waking up from jet lag Seattle scored 28 in the 2nd half, went right thru the rested bye week Falcons.
SF played a far superior schedule to Atlanta, # 4 to # 26.
Who did the Falcons beat? Who?
49ers had a bye then a home game will come to Atlanta in better shape. And with a superior* "D" + a superior* running game to Atlanta. That is a winning formula in playoff football.
SF better RB, OL, DL, LB, DB's. I'd say Atlanta has a barely better QB (but who knows?), better WR's, that's it. I give coaching to SF, too.
Cam Newton ate Atlanta "D" alive twice... Kaepernick will do even better.
49ers by 17+... not just reacting to this week'a results.



(* and I mean, "superior")

I'm already sold but i believe this a very good line of reasoning.

[freakydave]

Dude U R severely

Don't be a rectangle?

Sounds like a lot of excuses to me. I would hardly call a game winning drive with 31 seconds left luck.

Yeah that was crazy how Lynch fumbled and they got stopped twice on 3rd and 4th and 1 all by themself. There was no defense on the field that had anything to do with, right?

[NOboy]

last i checked matt ryan has the most GW drives sine 08....thats a WHOLE lotta luck! lol wonder what the excuse will be next week if falcons somehow won that. not saying they do. but holy shit, the hate for them is ridiculous. talk about the most disrespected team in the league LOL

Yeah seriously, I dont really get it.

This week will be a real tough game. I'm not sure if we get the win or not, but I do know its not "luck" that we are there.

[freakydave]

LOL
you are not serious??
what about the games they lost? oakland? pretty fing crappy in that one.

[Statman]

I like how everyone suddenly just forgot after the made FG how from the last drive at the end of the first half to the last drive to the end of the game the Seahawks were literally picking up 30 yards a play and moving the ball at WILL. Now let me tell you something, SF offensive line is about 50 times better than Seattles, you see all the time Wilson had today? Atlanta has absolutely NO PASS RUSH, NONE. there is only so much time your DBs can hold up in coverage. its going to be back breaking the time Kap has in the pocket. they may drop 45 again.

Agreed but how do you explain the whipping SEA gave SF a short time ago? If a hot SEA team can beat SF, ATL who just beat SEA can beat SF....

[PAULYPOKER]

[Mr Handicapable]

Pete Carroll is a fkn idiot....not only does he give the kicker a 2nd chance but where was the read option w/Wilson? 4th/1 in the redzone 1st half and the fullback (4th-5th best rb) gets the ball? Harbaugh is smarter than that...plus SFs pash rush is 10x better than Seattle's without Clemons.

Seriously...Wilson had ALL DAY back there and Kaep is faster. Atl also completely ignored Zach Miller....what could Vernon Davis do? SF has all the matchup advantages

Then can I wait til 2Q and get SF+9.5 on Live Betting - Cause I will be glad to do that again.

[d2bets]

4.5 at Bookmaker now. Good lawd.

[daneblazer]

[Serbone]

Ha. If Atlanta is so good... then why a 4 point dog at home against a team Seattle beat (split)?
Matchups all favor SF, even QB. Only advantage for Falcons is at WR. But WR's will be dealing with the best "D" in the NFL. Seattle blew it in the first half, woke up and stomped Falcons for 28 in 2nd. Facts.

[Killer_Demo]

Riding 49ers -3 ALL DAY

[k13]

ML now +200.

+4.5 is as high as it will go no?

[qsilver335]

I am getting in at 4.5. I don't see it going much higher. There may be a middle play here if late money goes on ATL.

[k13]

+210 at pinnacle now. non stop pounding.

Isn't home field an advantage?

How do we see easily ignore how good Atlanta has been at home for so many years. 7-1 this season and 24-8 last 4 seasons.

Didn't SF lose 2 of their last 3 road games?

Not saying SF can't win and cover, but this line is bat shit crazy.

[SmittyZ28]

4.5 Now, public burial is getting set up on SF
