Date: Sunday, October 16, 2022

The San Francisco 49ers will look to extend their winning streak to three games when they visit the Atlanta Falcons in Week 6 of the 2022 NFL season. Running back Jeff Wilson's big day (18 touches, 132 yards, 1 touchdown) guided the 49ers to a 37-15 road win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Falcons fell just short of an upset win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5. Atlanta was down 21-0 entering the fourth quarter before they scored 2 touchdowns to make it a one-possession game. Tampa Bay was eventually able to run out the clock and secure a 21-15 win.

49ers vs Falcons Prediction & Pick

The Falcons are an undeniably feisty team. Each of their five games have been decided by six points or fewer and each one came down to the final minutes of the fourth quarter. Atlanta has the talent to pull off an upset in any given week, but seeing the 49ers lose this one would be a surprising outcome.

San Francisco has the edge here because of its defense. The 49ers are allowing a league-best 249.2 yards per game as well as a league-best 4.0 yards per play. Quarterback Marcus Mariota is going to be running for his life and trying to fit the ball in the tightest of spaces, which is never a good thing.

Final Score Prediction: 49ers: 27 | Falcons: 17

49ers vs Falcons Best Bet

It's not hard to understand that the 49ers score more points in their wins than they do in their losses. San Francisco is averaging a reliable 29.3 points per game across their three victories on the year, but is averaging 10.0 points per game across their two losses. That has an impact on this point total.

The 49ers are expected to win this one and it wouldn't be shocking to see them put up 27 or more points against a Falcons defense that is allowing 24.4 points per game (T-No. 21 in NFL). That means Atlanta would only need to score around 17 points to hit the over, which is a mark it has hit in four of five games.

Bet: Over 42.5 Points (-110)
