49ers vs Titans Prediction
I’m on San Francisco here. I think Tennessee got their win last time out, but I’m back to going against the Titans against a 49ers team off of a bye that’s been suffocating their opposition over the last month. Furthermore, I’m looking for the 49ers to completely shut down Tennessee and to win in another blowout. Give me the 49ers here.
