Lovie Smith was able to pull out the win against St. Louis last week but I don't see that happening this weekend. Dennis Erickson tends to forget the word "pre" in preseason. He takes these things seriously. Erickson is 14-8 (64%) ATS including 3-1 last year. San Francisco qualifies for a trend that involves road dogs in conference games playing a team off a win that hits at the rate of about 89% ATS. San Francisco plus the points for a unit in this one.

2 units on San Francisco +3 (-110) (risk 2 to return 3.82)
