49ers vs Falcons Week 6 preview
The 49ers lost starting quarterback Trey Lance to a long-term injury during their Week 2 win over the Seahawks. This forced backup Jimmy Garoppolo to step up in place of the young star. The veteran had a poor outing in the 49ers' 11-10 loss against the Denver Broncos, but bounced back nicely. He delivered two assured performances against the Las Vegas Rams and Carolina Panthers in Week 4 and 5, respectively. With a solid defensive unit, the 49ers could become the team to beat in the NFC in the coming months.
The Falcons' early season momentum has evaporated in the past two weeks. Two losses by a combined nine points have seen them slip below the .500 mark for the season. It's not all doom for Atlanta. Their games after Week 6 are relatively easy and they can rack up a few wins on the trot to climb into the playoff picture. They will want to avoid slipping to a third straight loss and leaving themselves with a mountain to climb approaching the midpoint of the season.
49ers vs Falcons Prediction
The 49ers are firing on all cylinders, especially on defense, and it's hard to envision them struggling against the Falcons. Expect a big win for the away side.
