4. Week 15 at Atlanta Falcons

The 49ers beat the Falcons in 2015, 17-16, after some dubious decision-making in the fourth quarter from first year Falcons coach Dan Quinn. The 49ers return to the Georgia Dome for the first time since January 2013, where you might remember the 17 point comeback in the NFC Championship Game that sent the 49ers to the Super Bowl.

These teams are much different now, and they could be going in different directions in Week 15. However, these teams match up quite evenly. In their last four meetings, the biggest winning margin has been 10 points.

This game should be a good test for the 49ers to see where they stack up in the NFC late in the season. With a bit of luck hopefully the 49ers are not just playing for pride.

This game promises to be another exciting one between these teams.
