This week jumps off with a playoff contender visiting a division leader. The game’s spread is small, suggesting we might have a back-and-forth affair on our hands. However, despite the small spread, I’m much more interested in using players from one team than the other.

Game: San Francisco 49ers at Tennessee Titans
Spread: SF -3.5 Points
Over/Under: 44.5 Points
49ers Analysis: The 49ers are only modest favorites. Nevertheless, I'm much more interested in using their players than the players on Tennessee's impotent offense. Jimmy Garoppolo wisely uses his yards-after-the-catch weapons to score points and move the football. Jimmy G has passed for two touchdowns in five of his last seven games. In addition, he's eclipsed 290 passing yards in three of those games. I don't see any reason for him to slow down in an average matchup. According to Football Outsiders, the Titans are 15th in pass defense Defense-adjusted Value Over Average (DVOA).
