A healthy 49ers team can handle the AFC South leaders with a small spread to cover.
Meanwhile, Jacksonville hasn’t faced an opponent of the same caliber as the 49ers since Week 2 against the Chiefs, when the Jaguars lost 19-7. They not only should return Deebo Samuel (shoulder) and Dre Greenlaw (groin) to the lineup, but San Francisco also added Chase Young to its defensive line after trading for him at the deadline. The 49ers have struggled over the last month, but a much-needed Week 9 bye gives them a chance to get back on track.
This buys half a point to get the spread under a field goal.
