San Francisco went 12-5 last year and reached the divisional round of the NFC playoffs, while Tennessee went 3-14, which tied for the worst record in the league. So why are the Titans favored?
Saleh went 10-2-1 straight-up in the preseason, including 10-3 against the spread, when he was head coach of the Jets. Also, Hartstein notes that San Francisco scheduled practices for Saturday and Sunday while Tennessee won't practice again until Monday, which suggests that the Titans will emphasize Thursday's game more than the 49ers. For example, starting quarterback Cam Ward is slated to play for the Titans.
"Tennessee opened as the only road team favored Thursday for a reason," he told SportsLine.
