I like the 49ers, I posted this already at 3.5, 3 is available now, the line movement is because Brown has been cleared to play.
The 49ers have quietly been playing great football the last 6 weeks, going 5-1. Their only loss was to Seattle in a game Samuel didn't play. Kittle is healthy now and he changes their offense in several ways, Garrapollo doesn't have that strong of an arm so having an elite tight end to work the middle of the field opens up the perimeter for Samuel and Kittle is a very good blocker too, he helps the running game also. The Titans do have a top rush defense, but the Titans corners have struggled most of the season even though their safeties have been solid, the 49er offense is built on short passes and their 49er running game is better than most teams as well.
The 49er front 7 is strong, the team sometime has issues on the backend, but the Titans receivers are weak right now. Brown should be back but Jones is obviously nowhere near healthy, he had 1 catch last week and he is dealing with the same hamstring injury that bothered him last year, he didn't practice a single time this week. Other than Brown who will be playing in his first game in a while, the Titans are very limited at receiver. The Titans offensive line is also beat up, with Lewan and Saffold out, and the 49er pass rush has strong with Bossa having 15 sacks on the year.
The 49ers haven't played any recent games on primetime and Kittle has been hurt a lot the last couple years, he's still elite and since he's come back the 49er offense has been much better. Bossa is also healthy and near the top of the league in sacks, he should have a good night against a Titan offensive line missing 2 key starters.
