- The 49ers are 2-point home favourites. The total is 47 points.
- The Falcons are coming off a massive win, beating Buffalo at home on Monday Night Football.
- As of Wednesday, 49ers quarterbacks Brock Purdy and Mac Jones have been limited in practice.
On Sunday Night Football in Week 7, the San Francisco 49ers will host the Atlanta Falcons.
Per the NFL odds for Super Bowl 60, at the BetMGM sportsbook where football online betting is available, the 49ers (+2500) are ahead of the Falcons (+6000).
This is despite Atlanta knocking off the Buffalo Bills, who have the top odds at +600, last week on Monday Night Football.
All that being said, I’ll cast a prediction for this game and more below.

Falcons vs. 49ers Predictions & Best Bets
The Falcons are in the midst of a two-game winning streak, beating the Bills and the Washington Commanders at home. Across those two games, they averaged 29 points and are now 3-2.
Now, they’re on the road against the 49ers, a team hit with plenty of injuries, and once again this week, both quarterbacks, Mac Jones and Brock Purdy, have been limited in practice. 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan did provide the caveat that Purdy is “more limited than Mac,” though.
One positive sign for the team on the injury front is tight end George Kittle, who was limited in practice, signalling his return from a hamstring injury could be imminent.
They’re taking on a Falcons defence that does two things well: halting opposing passing games and allowing minimal production to pass-catching running backs.
The Falcons allow the fewest passing yards (139.4) and receiving yards to running backs (13.8) per game.
49ers running back Christian McCaffrey leads the team in target share at 25.9% and his 60 targets lead the team by 24.
I expect the Falcons to keep this game close, and I’ll take them +2 on the road as my prediction.
