The San Francisco 49ers had a great campaign that got away from them in the last seconds, and now they hope to start the 2024/25 season in the best way, including the preseason, where they will be facing the Tennessee Titans who will try to have a positive record and clean up their image.
The Titans had a bad year, having one of the worst records in the American Football League.
On the other hand, the 49ers lost in the Super Bowl in the last seconds of overtime against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Why Bet on the Titans?
It’s a clean slate for the Titans. It has been two very bad seasons for the Tennessee team with negative records and being left out of the playoffs, something they were not used to in recent years.
Their record in the 2023/24 season was 6-11, losing three of the last four games they played. They did not manage to win two consecutive matches during the whole season, something that speaks very poorly of the team’s level, finishing last in the AFC South, being surpassed by the Texans, Jaguars, and Colts, all of them with positive records.
Among the big changes to transform the image they left is that of the coach, as Brian Callahan arrives as head coach, after being offensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals from 2019 to 2023.
For this season they managed to obtain in the first two rounds of the draft offensive tackle JC Latham and defensive back T’Vondre Sweat, who come from the University of Alabama and Texas, respectively. However, the departure of Derrick Henry to the Ravens is a very tough casualty, and we will see if the arrival of Tony Pollard from the Dallas Cowboys and what is expected from Tyjae Spears is enough.
It will be Will Levis’ first season as the starting quarterback after having good performances last year as a rookie.
Why Bet on the 49ers?
The wound still hasn’t healed for the 49ers. The San Francisco team was just a few seconds away from being Super Bowl champions, but twice the Kansas City Chiefs were able to put an end to their party.
They were leading 19-16, and with 3 seconds left, Harrison Butker managed to tie the game with a kick. Then, in overtime, also with three seconds left, Patrick Mahomes opened the ball for Mecole Hardman who scored the definitive 25-22.
It was a hard blow for the 49ers who wanted to make history with Brock Purdy, Mr. Irrelevant, after being selected last in the 2022 draft. Despite that, he managed to be San Francisco’s starting quarterback and almost gave them a title. For this year, he comes better prepared.
Coach Kyle Shanahan managed to keep almost all of his base and that is the best reinforcement of the team. Purdy has recovered better from his old injury and is expected to be even more decisive this year.
