San Francisco Hopes to Avoid a Seventh Straight Loss
The San Francisco 49ers are 0-6 SU and ATS since winning their first game of the season. San Francisco hopes to turn things around on Sunday at home against the New Orleans Saints.
Since winning their season opener 28-0, the 49ers have scored 19.3 points per game. That might be enough to win games with a strong defense, but with a defense allowing 36.5 points per game over that stretch, San Francisco has lost all but one of its last six games by 12 points or more.
New Orleans has been a road favorite 11 times since the start of the 2013 season. In those 11 games, the Saints are just 5-6 SU and 2-9 ATS. Over the course of his illustrious career, Drew Brees has always been a much more effective quarterback at home than he is on the road, as evidenced by an over 10-point drop in his career passer rating from 101.4 at home to 90.9 on the road.
The Saints have won seven of their last 10 games against the 49ers.
