San Francisco 49ers at Atlanta Falcons Predictions & Picks
San Francisco are tipped to cover the spread as they remain unbeaten.
Caleb Williams and the Bears had their way with this Falcons defense a week ago, and Brock Purdy & Co. are more than capable of replicating that here.
And on the opposite side of the football, this Niners defense can put the clamps on Bijan Robinson and whoever lines up at quarterback for Atlanta.
- San Francisco 49ers are 6-0 this season
- San Francisco 49ers are 4-2-0 ATS through 6 weeks
- Atlanta Falcons are 0-3-0 ATS this season
- 4 of San Francisco’s 6 games have produced under 50.5 total points
Head To Head
- San Francisco 49ers lead the all-time series 49-33-1
- San Francisco 49ers won 20-10 when the two teams last met in October 2025
San Francisco 49ers Form
San Francisco head out on the road having won all six of their games so far, making them one of just three unbeaten teams heading into Week 7.
The 49ers kicked off the season by making the long trip to Australia, but they made it a worthwhile trip as they knocked off division rivals, the Los Angeles Rams, 27-7.
They then followed that up when they returned home to beat Miami 35-13 and Arizona 36-30.
San Francisco made it four-in-a-row with a 24-14 success against Denver, and then downed defending Super Bowl champions Seattle on the road, 32-29.
The 49ers made it six-in-a-row last Monday night, as they saw off Washington at home, 23-17.
Atlanta Falcons Form
Atlanta go into their third straight home game having lost back-to-back matchups, leaving them 2-4.
The Falcons opened the season on the road, losing 20-13 in Pittsburgh, and then suffered a blowout defeat in their home opener, falling 34-3 to Carolina.
They finally got off the mark in Week 3 when they travelled to Green Bay to upset the Packers on Thursday Night Football, 35-14.
Atlanta backed that up with a 45-24 success in New Orleans, but they have not won since.
The Falcons suffered a 30-23 overtime defeat at the hands of Baltimore, and then lost 31-23 to Chicago in a game that was not as close as the final score suggests.
Verdict
The score does not suggest it, but Chicago pretty much dominated the Falcons a week ago.
San Francisco are more than capable of doing the same here, so we are backing the 49ers to make straightforward work of the faltering Falcons.
