The Patriots have also won six straight games in this series with five of those six wins coming by at least 12 points.

(8-6) at (11-3), SaturdayOpening line: 49ers -6.5If there's one thing Kyle Shanahan has struggled to do during his 49ers tenure, it's cover the spread against divisional opponents. Since the beginning of the 2018 season, the 49ers are just 2-7-1 ATS against NFC West teams. On the other hand, Sean McVay has been the complete opposite, going 10-4 ATS in his past 14 games against divisional opponents, which includes a mark of 5-1 ATS In his past six.

The Falcons haven't covered in any of their past 13 games against the AFC, and that includes going 0-3 both straight-up and ATS against the AFC South this year. On the flip side, this might actually be the week where you don't want to bet against the Falcons, and that's because the Jags are just as bad against NFC teams.
