Falcons vs 49ers: NFC Championship Mid Week Betting Lines

Can you feel the momentum that continues to build? Championship Sunday is upon us as the finalists for Super Bowl XLVII will be decided during the NFC and AFC Conference Championships this weekend.

San Francisco travels to Atlanta as kickoff for the 49ers vs Falcons NFC Championship game is first up at 3:00 PM ET on January 20, 2013. Perfect conditions await and the Georgia Dome will be rocking in Atlanta, GA.

San Francisco: 49ers NFC Championship road favorites

Wow – was that a turn around in the Over/Under numbers or what! After a Wild Card Weekend that saw all four games stay UNDER the total, the four Divisional games each blew way past the numbers. The San Francisco vs. Green Bay battle was very one-sided as the 49ers whacked the Packers 45-31 in the highest scoring DCW contest. After Colin Kaepernick shredded the Packers for 181 rushing yards, one has to wonder what he’ll do against a suspect Atlanta defense.

Atlanta: Falcons live to soar again after close call versus the Seahawks

Lucky or unlucky, the Atlanta Falcons are still alive as the #1 seed in the NFC. After blowing a 20 point lead, twice in the third quatrer, QB Matt Ryan connected with TE Tony Gonzalez on a 19 yard pass play to set up a 49 yard game winning field goal by kicker Matt Bryant. Atlanta allowed QB Russell Wilson to put up 445 yards of total offense.Seattle made a ton of mistakes in this contest. Head coach Pete Carroll and his staff deserve the majority of the blame for the miscues.

49ers vs Falcons Wagering Lines and Sportsbook Review NFC Championship Prediction

After opening at -3.5 (-115) point road chalk, the 49ers are now up to -4 (-105) points against the spread at many online sportsbooks – including the one at the bovada.lv wagering website. Bovada is always a little slow with their money lines and game totals but we expect -200 SF and +180 ATL on the ML and the game total will come in at about 49 points. We like the Niners numbers!

While we already jumped on the -3.5 point offering, based on the mid-week prices, we will lay the -4 (-105) and drop a small wager on the Niners. We may tease SF up to -7.5 points, with some sweet juice, just before game time. The teaser numbers aren’t posted yet but we’ll also add the 49ers to a Patriots parlay ticket later in the week. We’ll be back with an update on Saturday!
