Three reasons the 49ers should beat the Saints by double-digits
You can’t say that the 49ers haven’t made it interesting down the stretch.
Despite being the NFL’s last undefeated team — 9-0 not too long ago — and despite being tied for the NFL’s best record heading into Week 14, almost everything is on the line for San Francisco when they play the Saints in New Orleans on Sunday.
The Niners (10-2) — who are somehow, someway, set to play in the NFC Playoff Wild Card Round as the No. 5 seed — can either re-ignite their bid for a first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout those playoffs or effectively lock-in that extra playoff game.
