Week 9 vs. New Orleans Saints – WIN

San Francisco did not win back-to-back games once last season. That changes under Kelly, who is able to make the most of a matchup against another susceptible defense as the Niners record another victory coming off the bye.

The last four meetings between the 49ers and Saints, including the postseason classic back in 2012, have all been decided by 10 points or less.

Three of those games have gone to the 49ers. And it is home field that makes the difference in this one as San Francisco moves to 4-4.
