Do you smell that?
It’s a weird smell of confidence coming from Atlanta. They are coming off a huge road win against the Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints. They are looking primed to be a true contender in the NFC and it shows in their play.
So why on earth am I writing an article that the 49ers can pull off a huge road upset?
Because this whole situation stinks of an upset. Think about this. You have in one corner a team that is 0-3, down in the dumps, just fired their offensive coordinator, and looks to be in total shambles.
In the other corner, you have a 2-1 (almost 3-0 team barring one long overtime run) team who just took out the biggest contention in their own division who’s riding a wave of emotion and preparing to honor some great former Falcon Pro Bowlers in front of a raging Atlanta home crowd.
Doesn’t sound like an upset? That’s exactly why it should be looked at with great potential.
San Francisco is much better than their record reflects. They took the Saints the distance in prime-time. They’ve got talent laid all around on that squad. They have a head coach who can get them fired up. It’s not as if they are some bum squad with gaping holes all around. When this team wants to play, they can compete with anyone. They have arguably the best LB in the game right now in Patrick Willis. They have a monster run game with Frank Gore.
