The 49ers are getting a few reinforcements: Trent Williams, Kendrick Bourne and Brandon Aiyuk. They're trying to save their season while the Saints are due to regress a bit after by far their finest performance. Grab the points as San Fran covers for the seventh time in the last eight meetings.

Here's a situation where we're playing the spot more than anything. We have a 49ers team that just got embarrassed on national television versus a Saints team that just embarrassed its opponent on national television. The line jumped 2.5 points from the lookahead of Saints -6.5 and the public is still all over New Orleans, even though the Saints are 2-9 ATS as a home favorite of nine points or more in their last 11 such games. The 49ers defense ranks second in passer rating allowed on attempts of less than 10 yards, which is the Saints' bread and butter. With extra rest and a bye next week, the 49ers will open up the bag of tricks to stick around in the NFC West race.
