Why the 49ers Will Lose to the Falcons in Week 7

A chance at 7-0 is staring the San Francisco 49ers square in the face.

All they have to do is take care of business on the road against the Atlanta Falcons . Then, they can rest easy during their Bye Week, knowing they’ve won an incredible seven games in a row.

However, defeating the Falcons will be a lot tougher than most people probably think. In fact, I think that the 49ers will lose to the Falcons in Week 7 and suffer their first defeat of the year.

This is not a normal week for the 49ers. A lot of factors are against them. For starters, the rest and travel disadvantage. The Falcons have a day's rest over the 49ers, who played on Monday night.

That game also went down to the wire, with the defense needing to be on the field a bunch, which makes it back-to-back games they’ve needed to do that. It wouldn’t be shocking if they’re reeling going into Week 7.
