San Francisco at Tennessee Game Preview
Why San Francisco Will Win
Tennessee is having injury issues on the offensive line with OT Taylor Lewan and OG Rodger Saffold out.
Tennessee backfield, welcome to the San Francisco defensive front.
The Titan offense has sputtered and coughed over the last few weeks, failing to score more than 20 points in any of the last four games with 13 turnovers in there losses and with little to no passing game.

It’ll be a good fight, but the 49er offense will do a bit more defensively on third downs.
