TV: 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday, Fox

Records: Falcons 4-9, 49ers 11-2

Line: 49ers by 10½

Satellite radio: Falcons feed on Sirius 134 (streaming 801), 49ers feed on Sirius 82 (streaming 827)

Falcons keys: The Falcons have to get a big game from RB Devonta Freeman, a dual threat who can give the 49ers trouble. On defense, Atlanta has to dominate the edges.

49ers keys: The 49ers have to get behind their run game against a Falcons run defense that’s struggled. RB Raheem Mostert has broken out, and RB Matt Breida is explosive and finally healthy.

Who wins? Simply more talented, San Francisco should roll in a game it needs to win to keep pace in a tightly contested NFC. 49ers 34, Falcons 20
