49ers vs. Falcons: Is the Suspicious Spread a Trap?

All right, let's take a look at the 49ers and Falcons, which, without a doubt, in my mind, is the strangest line of the week. This is the most peculiar one to me, where you have a team that has been far and away the best team in the NFL, covering virtually every spread every week in the NFL, dominating teams, good teams, bad teams, ugly teams, it hasn't mattered, and they're two-and-a-half-point favorites against the Falcons. Something smells off here to me in this one. This has pretty much been the line all week long, and you didn't even get three from uh san francisco here in fact uh you know just the money seemingly just coming in on atlanta total 50 and a half and so uh i mean i i don't really have anything on this one but if i did it would it would be the falcons i mean it just would have to be just because of the line nothing more i i expected san francisco to be three and a half four and a half who knows atlanta's not good they're at home and getting a short number here So based on history and what my mind tells me is I'm not going to get caught up on the 49ers this week. Yeah. I mean, perhaps they're telling you this is the trap game and let down game that got injuries. I mean, clearly, you know, Mike Evans, and this is such an unfortunate situation because, you know, Deshaun's dribbling going into this offseason was kind of the guy we were hoping for, and he's hurt too. And this is the perfect set of circumstances for a guy like that to pop off. So now we're down to Brandon Cooks. We're down to Watson. We're down to Christian Kirk, right? And it feels like a heavy day for George Kittle. And you can see that in the line as well. You'll see the prop line around like 69 and a half rushing, excuse me, receiving yards for him. His score touchdown is in the early plus stage, like plus 115 in most markets. So I expect a lot of George Kittle, a lot of CMC in this game. And the 49ers should win this game by three. Like they should. So I'll lean towards the 49ers span of this game. But it would not shock me if this game was close from the way the line is kind of telling you. would not shock me if at one point maybe the Falcons have a lead in this game but I still think the 49ers are superior roster superior coach team as well so I imagine the 49ers do pull this one out it does make me uneasy that they're only two and a half point favorites so maybe it's just a matter of hey 49ers have a lot of injuries let's not get too ahead of our skis here uh but I I can't imagine here the 49ers dropping a game to the Falcons although the Falcons have desperately been searching for home wins so maybe this is their first one catching the 49ers sleeping I doubt it but I understand your concern and I kind of echo it.
