T.M. Selection: 49ers (8* TOUCHDOWN SPIKE).

I'm all about "picking spots" at this time of the year in the NFL and I do definitely think this one sets up great for a 49ers solid cover. San Francisco is on the cusp of elimination and badly needs a victory. That means that we don't have to worry about its determination today. I think that New Orleans though is on the verge of a major letdown today. And that's because the Saints have won six in a row, including a blowout road victory over rival Tampa last weekend. San Fran has its bye week next week and if it can manage to find a way to pull off the upset, it's going to be sitting pretty moving forward. That might not occur, but all signs point to this one being a lot closer than what the oddsmaker would like us to believe; grab the points!

T.M. Prediction: 27-23 New Orleans.
