dante,
San Fran is not going to be very good this year. Tim Rattay or Ken Dorsey at QB. No more Owens. No Garrison Hearst.
that line might be 1/2 point or so high though. If you want San Fran the major troube I think is Vick will be fresh in week 1 and will be able to play his scramble mayhem game.
After he takes a bad beating in some game you can fade him the following week, but in week 1 he figures to torch the San Fran defense.

I have to say I like the Niners myself. Tim Rattay was pretty good when he was in there last year. Look for ex-Illini Brandon Lloyd to have a breakout year, now that TO is gone. I think the Falcons will struggle defensively, and the Niners offense is not going to be that bad. Niners always tough at home, so I'll take the points.

More times than not, the public will reside more with the opening number favorite of an NFL game.
Having said that, you very possibly could be correct and I may have overreated, especially considering they are the Niners and are getting +3.5 at home.
Pinny at -3 -130 currently.

Public views Falcons as a "team on the rise" with new Coach, Vick returning. Public views SF as limping out of last season, losing pro-bowl QB Garcia.
I think once the public sees Vick's skills on the field again in pre-season, they will get all jacked up and think this will be an easy win for the Falcons. If the line creeps up toward 6 or 7 I will pound the home dog 49ers. If it stays at the current 3.5/4, I will most likely sit this one out. Don't like giving points on the road, especially taking a team without recent pedigree of wins and good play.
GL whatever you do Fellas.
