The Atlanta Falcons look to win their third game in a row when they take on the injury-hampered San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football. San Francisco lost linebacker Fred Warner (ankle), who had to undergo season-ending surgery, and has had a growing list of injured players that have been going in and out of its starting lineup. The Falcons (3-2), who are second in the NFC South, are 1-1 on the road this season. The 49ers (4-2), who are tied for first with Seattle and the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC West, are 1-1 on their home field. San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) is out, but George Kittle (hamstring) is active for the first time since Week 1. Both teams have three against-the-spread victories on the season.
Kickoff from Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., is set for 8:20 p.m. ET. The 49ers lead the all-time series 48-33-1, but the Falcons have won three of the last four meetings. San Francisco is a 1-point favorite in the latest Falcons vs. 49ers odds, while the over/under for total points scored is 46.5. San Fran is at -113 on the money line (risk $113 to win $100), while Atlanta is a -106 underdog (risk $106 to win $100).
