NFL against the spread picks: Is this a must win for the 49ers?
Nov 7, 2014 at 8:31 PM
• --
Nothing is determined after nine games, unless you're the Oakland Raiders or Jacksonville Jaguars.The San Francisco 49ers are 4-4. They could certainly get on a roll and make the playoffs no matter what happens this week, maybe even win the division. But it sure seems like this week at the New Orleans Saints is a make-or-break game for them.Realistically, where are the 49ers going if they fall to 4-5? You'd be looking at being two losses behind Dallas and Seattle for the final wild-card spot, with a remaining schedule that includes another game against Arizona, two against Seattle and another against San Diego. If the 49ers need to get to 10-6 to make the playoffs, could they weather a loss at New Orleans and then go 6-1 against that schedule the rest of the way? Based on what they showed in the first half, I wouldn't think so.The problem is that the Saints morph into the 1989 49ers at home. The Saints are 24-5-1 against the spread in their last 30 games as home favorites, according to OddsShark.com. They're nearly unbeatable at the Superdome and meh elsewhere, in one of the most extreme splits you'll find for a team.[Join FanDuel.com's $3M Week 10 fantasy league: $25 to enter;...

ESPN insider Adam Schefter recently shared his insights on the situation surrounding San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk during an appearance on the network's "NFL Live" show. Schefter clarified that while Aiyuk would like to remain with the 49ers, his priority is securing a contract that reflects his value, regardless of the team.
When questioned about Aiyuk's desire to stay with the team that selected him in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, Schefter responded, "Well, I think his desire to get paid is greater than his desire to stay in San Francisco, wherever that is. If the 49ers want to pay him, I'm sure he'd love to stay in San Francisco. If another team would like to pay him, I'm sure he'd like to go
