The 49ers are in sole possession of the No. 6 spot, while the Falcons are in a five-way tie for the seventh and final seeding in the postseason. If the Falcons are able to pull off an upset win, they could put themselves in the driver seat for the seventh seed with winnable games against the Lions and Saints still left on their schedule.

Falcons vs. 49ers Prediction and Pick
Arthur Smith deserves a lot of credit for having the Falcons in contention for a playoff spot in Week 15 of the NFL season, but Atlanta is overmatched when they take on truly superior opponents. They're 0-4 straight up and against the spread when playing teams with a winning record this season.
The 49ers are seventh in yards per play this season and 12th in opponent yards per play, which firmly puts them in the top third of teams in the NFL. That spells trouble for a Falcons team that ranks in the bottom 10 in both of those categories.
Look for the 49ers defensive line to have a field day against a Falcons offensive line that has struggled all season. The 49ers rank sixth in sack percentage, recording a sack on 7.3% of their opponent drop backs.
I refuse to bet on the Falcons when they play a superior opponent, and that's exactly what the 49ers are.
