(NFL) Atlanta vs. San Francisco,
Point Spread: 7.50 | -110.00 San Francisco (Home)
Result: Win
This San Fran team has continued to respond well to adversity such as their loss by a field goal against the Giants on primetime football and with Kap being benched we love for this team to step up for at least one game as a squad against an elite team at home. This is why the line is just 7 here and the public likely gets buried. Atlanta struggles against teams with a strong physical presence in the interior. Surprisingly, when news of the QB change was released the betting line in Las Vegas saw a 3-point jump within minutes. When the original point spread for this game was released on Sunday, the Falcons were modest 3-point favorites on the road at Levi's Stadium. It trended up on Monday to minus -4 as speculation surfaced of a possible QB change, then jumped all the way up to its current number of minus -7.5 now that Gabbert is the announced starter. We are getting a ton of value with the home underdog San Fran 49ers here and I expect a FG type of game in the end.
