Falcons (+10¹/u2082) over 49ERS: The Falcons are a Jekyll and Hyde team and I’m hoping they can take their act (especially on the defensive side) on the road like they did last month in upsets at the Saints and Panthers. I’m still high on the 49ers and was impressed with their own road win at New Orleans as well as their loss at Baltimore, but this line is high enough for me to fade them here as Matt Ryan and the Falcons offense is still potent enough to keep up in a shootout.
