Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Christmas Eve Eve edition of the Pick Six Newsletter!I'm going to start things off today with some sad news, and that's the fact that tonight's game between the and marks the final Thursday game of the year. Actually, I gue s that could also be construed as good news, especially for me, and that's because my DVR is about to break. I think my wife told me yesterday that we have 94 Hallmark Christmas movies to catch up on and those definitely aren't going to watch themselves, so I gue s I already know what I'll be doing next Thursday.Although this will be the final Thursday game of season, this isn't your final newsletter of the week. I'll coming to be you tomorrow with a Christmas Eve edition of the newsletter, so ho ho ho, but I'm going to stop talking about tomorrow's newsletter so we can get to the one from today.As always, here's your weekly reminder to tell all your friends to sign up for the Pick Six newsletter.

Today's show: 49ers-Titans betting previewIf you're planning on betting any money on tonight's game, then you're going to want to make sure to listen to today's episode of the podcast before you place any bets. For today's show, Will Brinson brought on CBSSports writer Tyler Sullivan, and the two went into full gambling mode.Here are several props they like for the game (all from Caesars Sportsbook): OVER 217.5 pa sing yards (-115). Not only will Tannehill po sibly be getting his two best receiving targets back tonight (A.J. and ), but he'll be facing a San Francisco secondary that's ranked 21st in the NFL against the pa s. Basically, this feels like a game where Tenne see is going to have to pa s the ball to win, so it wouldn't be surprising at all for Tannehill to hit the over here. OVER 243.5 pa sing yards (-115). Garoppolo is averaging 276.7 pa sing yards per game over the past three weeks, and considering the 49ers will be going up against the NFL's second-best rushing defense, you have to think Garoppolo will definitely be airing it out tonight. ANYTIME touchdown (+103).The 49ers' Swi s army knife has scored a touchdown in nine of San Francisco's 14 games this season, and that includes scoring a TD in each of the 49ers' past five games. Basically, Samuel has been a scoring machine and if you can get plus-money on him scoring a TD, you almost have to take it.For more props and their actual predictions for tonight's game, so you can listen to today's episode. 2. Thursday night preview: Prepping you for 49ers at TitansFor the final Thursday game of the NFL season, we're getting a huge cro s-conference showdown that both teams need to win. On the Titans' end, they're in the middle of a free fall with three lo ses in their past four games, and the might catch them in the AFC South if they lose this game. As for the 49ers, they would take one giant step toward clinching a wild-card berth with a win. However, a lo s could land the 49ers on the outside of the playoff picture looking in if the , and all win in Week 16.My good buddy Jared Dubin put together our deep-dive preview for this game at CBS Sports, and here's how he sees it playing out:Why the 49ers can win: One big reason the 49ers have been on a roll over the past six weeks is because they've been able to run the ball so well. In their past six games, the 49ers have gone 5-1 and over that span, they've averaged nearly 145 rushing yards per game. However, getting the ground game going won't be easy against a Titans team that has the second-best rushing defense in the NFL, allowing just 86.9 yards per game. If the 49ers can move the ball on the ground, they should be able to win this game going away, but they'll have to do it without Eli Mitchell, who won't be playing due to injury.Why the Titans can win:If the Titans are going to pull the upset tonight, their offense is going to have to actually produce some points. That might seem obvious, but it's worth noting because the Titans offense has been horrible over the last four weeks, scoring 13, 13, 20 and 13. (The 20-point showing was against Jacksonville, which is like scoring four points against a normal team.) The Titans are 9-1 this season when they score 20 or more points, so if their offense can somehow hit that number it will likely mean a win with how well their defense has been playing. Having both Julio Jones and on the field would be huge for Tenne see, and there's a chance both could be playing tonight. (Jones injured his hamstring Sunday and Brown hasn't played since Week 11.)You . The 49ers are currently favored by three points, and as you can see below, Dubin and I both think that they're going to cover. Dubin's pick:49ers 27-17 over Titans.My pick: 49ers 27-20 over Titans.If you're thinking about betting on the game, Tyler Sullivan put together a full gambling preview.ONE PROP TYLER LIKES: OVER 69.5 receiving yards (-115): ONE PROP I LIKE: OVER 1.5 field goals (+105): If I'm getting plus odds on a field goal prop in a game involving the Titans, I'm taking it. The Titans have a really good red-zone defense and because of that, they give up a lot of field goals. Tenne see's opponents have hit 28 field goals against the Titans this year, which is the fourth-most in the NFL. Basically, if the Titans are playing, their opponent is going to be kicking field goals, and Robbie Gould has gone over this number in three of his past five games. You . 3.

Prisco went 12-4 with his straight-up picks last week, and I would say that I expect him to do just as well this week, but he's a man of routine and I Logan Morrison Jersey 'm just not sure how he's going to respond to the fact that his routine was thrown off.San Francisco at Tenne see (+3): THE PICK: Titans 23-17 over 49ers.Indianapolis at Arizona (-1): THE PICK:Cardinals 30-20 over Colts.L.A. at Minnesota (+3): THE PICK: Vikings 30-28 over Rams.For the rest of , be sure to click here. 4.
