SF @ ATL

those are meaningless stats to these fools. 

i think niners are the favorite not just because of the atl blowup at the end of last weeks game but because niners are the better team. i was really surprised to see niners as the favorite let alone opened at 3 and quickly jumping to 3.5. i thought atl would b -3 or -2.5. niners offense is in sync after kaep took over. yeah the defense gave up more points toward the ending of the season but thats because niners scored much faster and so more possessions for the opposition. kaep had crappy games against the rams and seattle. that seattle game was a classic letdown game cuz seattle was unstoppable at home this year and niners knew they could close out the division vs ari at home so getting blown out in seattle doesnt prove how bad the niners are. atl isnt a pushover going 13-3 and having weapons like tony g roddy white and julio jones and ryan. so does the niners in davis crabtree gore and kaepernick. the difference maker is gonna be the sf defense. im kind of thinking this game might b a snooze. atl will have the butterflies and will start off slow. will kaep do the same? much more punts in my opinion which will make this game more of a defensive battle, thus giving niners the advantage. i feel atl accomplished what they wanted this year in finally winning a playoff game (atl was squeezing). huge sigh of relief right? niners took care of business last week and will do it again this week.  

The perception was that they won.
