T.M. Selection: 49ers (8* CRUSHER).

These two teams are suddenly moving in opposite directions and I expect that trend to continue here. Jimmy Garoppolo and the 49ers enter off an impressive win at home over the Rams, dominating defensively. No team in the NFL this year has been hit harder by the injury bug than the 49ers, but the team is deep and it's finally starting to resemble the squad which advanced the Super Bowl last season. Jared Goff entered that game as one of the most effecient QB's in the league, and San Fran completely shut him down. Now the 49ers face a very inconsistent Cam Newton, who is clearly showing signs of pressure. This one stes up great for San Fran, as New England is a poor 2-5-1 ATS in its last eight as a home favorite. Grab the points!

T.M. Prediction: 24-23 San Francisco.
