49ers-Saints preview: 5 matchups to watch

The San Francisco 49ers are home in Week 9 facing the New Orleans Saints. The game kicks off at 1:05 p.m. PT on FOX, and is the 49ers first game following their Week 8 bye. The 49ers opened as a field goal underdog, but with a lot of people wagering on New Orleans, the Saints are now a four-point favorite. The 49ers are 1-6, coming off six straight losses, while the surging Saints are 3-4, having won three of their last four games.

There will be plenty to watch on both sides of the ball. I thought we’d pull up a few potentially key matchups for the game.
