With a 12.5-point advantage, the 49ers are a huge favorite in this week's game, suggesting much more of a focus on running than their typical approach.Accounting for their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics, the model projects the 49ers to pass on 52.0% of their opportunities: the 6th-lowest rate among all teams this week.Based on the game dynamics and the underlying play styles of each team, this contest is projected by the predictive model to have only 126.7 offensive plays run: the 4th-fewest out of all the games this week.Christian McCaffrey's 0.00 yards-after-the-catch (YAC) this year conveys a noteworthy drop-off in his effectiveness in the open field over last year's 6.5% mark.When it comes to defensive ends getting after the quarterback, Tennessee's collection of DEs has been outstanding this year, profiling as the 5th-best in football.
