The SF 49ers are heavy underdogs in Week 10, yet these three Saints weaknesses are there for Kyle Shanahan to expose.

There’s a good chance the 4-5 SF 49ers get blown out of the water by the red-hot 6-2 New Orleans Saints in Week 10 as head coach Kyle Shanahan’s squad makes its seemingly annual field trip to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

The Niners, losers of two consecutive ugly bouts, limp into the contest without most of its top offensive weapons and will rely on a makeshift array of quarterback Nick Mullens, tight end Ross Dwelley, wide receiver Richie James, who knows at center, and a running back tandem of Jerick McKinnon and JaMycal Hasty.
