Which bird will the San Francisco 49ers be seeing next Sunday on Jan. 20?

Marshawn Lynch is unstoppable once he gets into “Beast Mode.”

The gamblers give the Falcons a three-point edge in this game, but this could really go either way. Expect for a hard-fought, exciting game  that will determine who the 49ers face in the NFC Championship game.
