The Hot Corner: San Francisco 49ers at Atlanta Falcons

Today's best bet: San Francisco 49ers (-4) over ATLANTA FALCONS (Sunday)

In order for the Falcons to win, the Niners have to have an off day. Don't count on it. The Niners are hitting their stride at the right time. So far, when the Falcons have faced an offense that brings the spread attack with a running quarterback, they have been sliced apart by Russell Wilson and Cam Newton. Look for Colin Kaepernick to have a huge day, and for the Niners' defense to limit the Falcons' offense.
