From BetUS.com:
"Coming off their bye week, the Falcons (2-1, 2-1 ATS) travel to the Bay Area to clash with the profitable 49ers (3-1, 4-0 ATS) on Sunday at Candlestick Park.
"Atlanta is bolstered by the return of running back Jerious Norwood (concussion) to the lineup this week. Norwood adds a ton of speed to the Falcons' running game, which has struggled out of the gate this season after impressing bettors last year. Atlanta ranks only 23rd in rushing (92.3 yards per game) after racking up 152.7 YPG last season.
"San Francisco won't have Frank Gore (ankle) again this week, so it'll be forced to rely on Glen Coffee against Atlanta. Coffee ran for 74 yards on 24 carries in Gore's absence last week against the Rams, as the Niners continue to cash for bettors despite an offense that ranks 28th in the league at 264.0 yards per game."
These two teams have played close games against one another over the last four dating back to 2000 although the Falcons won the last two.
