Kurtenbach: Titans QB Cam Ward has the goods, but expect the 49ers to win anyway
"Coming off the bye week, the San Francisco 49ers find themselves in an enviable position. They are rested, getting healthier, and eyeing not just the playoffs but potentially the NFC's No. 1 seed.

On the surface, this looks like a mismatch of epic proportions."
"Brock Purdy Will Dismantle a Chaos Defense The Titans are currently running what I call a chaos defensea scheme modeled after the Mike Macdonald or Brian Flores style, designed to confuse quarterbacks with positionless players and exotic blitz packages.

San Francisco enters the game rested and healthier, positioned to secure a playoff berth and potentially the NFC's No. 1 seed with one more win.
