Tennessee Titans Vs San Francisco 49ers NFL Match Odds Week 9

Almost 85 percent of the spread action was on San Francisco though around 90 percent of the money line action was flowing the Titans way.

Despite Frank Gore ripping off a 66-yard first-quarter score and the 49ers being ahead through most of three quarters, last week’s play calling was still extremely conservative. Coach Mike Singletary indicated he may open things up for QB Alex Smith this week and there is no better time to do so than against Tennessee’s league-worst pass defense.

While it wasn’t a spectacular performance, Vince Young was efficient and controlled in his first start last week. The Niners boast a better defense than the Jaguars, but Young’s mission remains the same: Avoid mistakes, make some timely throws and keep plays alive using his scrambling ability.

Some other important things to consider before betting on this game:

The Titans ran for 305 yards, with an average of 6.2 yards per carry, against Jacksonville in Week 8 but the 49ers are holding opponents to just 85 yards a game on the ground (second best in the league) and that does not bode well for Tennessee.
