The Atlanta Falcons did their job against a divisional opponent on Sunday, topping the Carolina Panthers 29-21 on the road. It was a win that put them back into the playoff conversation, but the oddsmakers aren’t buying it.
They’re sitting at 6-7 and take their road trip out west to face off against the San Francisco 49ers.
Atlanta opened as 8.5-point underdogs on the road against San Francisco, a (now) 7-6 team after Kyle Shanahan and company took home an overtime win on the road in Cincinnati. The 49ers have played pretty well of late, winning four of their last five and currently sitting as the sixth seed in the NFC playoff picture.
