San Francisco 49ers RB Frank Gore needs to get back on track Sunday<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

San Francisco has dropped back-to-back games, including a 13-10 defeat to the St. Louis rams as 10.5-point home favorites last week, but it still won the statistical battle for the fourth time in five affairs.\u00a0 The 49ers are averaging just 286.5 yards per game since Week 7, which can\u2019t be ignored when making your Week 10 NFL betting picks, as that figure ranks 26th in the league over that span.\u00a0 San Francisco is 2-4 SU and 3-3 ATS as underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points the last two-plus seasons, with the OVER going 4-2 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The 49ers need to get back to running the football, which is important to consider when looking over the NFL betting lines, as top running back Frank Gore hasn\u2019t gone over the 50-yard mark in his last three games.\u00a0 San Francisco\u2019s lack of balance offensively has led to dual-threat quarterback Colin Kaepernick to be sacked 26 times.\u00a0 His main weapon in the middle of the field has failed to produce in recent games, with tight end Vernon Davis averaging just 2.7 receptions for 26.8 yards in his last six games played.<\/p>\n

New Orleans has won and covered the number in two consecutive games for the first time in 2014, while it has captured its last 20 games at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome with head coach Sean Payton on the sideline.\u00a0 Saints quarterback Drew Brees has put together a sparkling 119.8 passer rating in winning his last 11 home starts dating back to the start of last season.\u00a0 New Orleans is 10-6 SU and 8-8 ATS as favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points since 2012, with the UNDER going 9-7 in those 16 opportunities.<\/p>\n

The Saints will also look to establish the running game with Mark Ingram, as he\u2019s become the franchise\u2019s first player to put together back-to-back 100-yard rushing games since 2006.\u00a0 New Orleans earned a 23-20 victory over San Francisco as 3.5-point home favorites in last year\u2019s meeting\u2014winning the statistical battle by a 387-196 margin.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely play the total, as the UNDER is 5-1 in the Saints\u2019 last six games versus NFC West opponents.<\/p>\n
