The Atlanta Falcons, sitting 2‑4, face an undefeated San Francisco 49ers in Week 7. While the 49ers remain a top‑10 offense and defense, they’re missing key weapons—Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel—due to injury, leaving their passing game vulnerable. The Falcons also battle injuries, especially on the defensive line and secondary, but could enjoy a health edge if most questionables play. With the 49ers coming off a Monday night loss and the Falcons enjoying extra rest, the matchup is a slim 2.5‑point home underdog for Atlanta. The author predicts a 49ers win but notes the Falcons’ potential to pull off an upset.

Give Me More: Bijan Robinson To See Huge Workload: Brian Robinson Out
