San Francisco hopes to end a three-game slide as they come to Jacksonville.  That will be no easy task as the Jaguars are on a bit of a streak of their own with five straight victories.  AcePerHead internal action data, provided exclusively to Gambling911.com, shows that around 65% of those betting the spread still believe in the 49ers as a -3 favorite.

Important Injury Updates

For San Francisco it's great news as wide receiver Deebo Samuel returns from a two-game absence after suffering a shoulder injury back in Week 6 against Cleveland.  Since his absence the 49ers offense has barely cracked 20 points.  With him on the field the team consistently went above 30 points.

There is still bad news for the 49ers Javon Hargrave and Trent Williams are both listed as questionable coming into this game for San Fran.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones returned to the practice field Wednesday for the first time since re-injuring his knee during a Week 5 game against the Buffalo Bills.

Jones was reluctant to say whether he returned too quickly from his prior injury.

“That’s hard to say; you can get hurt in any game you play in,” Jones said. “There’s always that risk factor. I wanted to be out there with my team, so I don’t regret that decision. I think whenever I can be out there at any level to give my best effort for my team, that’s what I’m gonna do.

“This training staff wouldn’t put me back on the field if they didn’t think I was capable of playing. It is what it is at this point. I’m just looking forward to making the next step, maybe tomorrow.”

His chances of playing on Sunday remained slim.

Jaguars a Home Dog?

The line on this game was either -2.5 or -3 favoring the visitor depending on the sportsbook.

We have the Jaguars favored at 0.34, suggesting the wrong team is favored and there is a 3-point overlay. These overlays in the 2.5/3 point range without going over the three do tend to work out well for the favorite, in this case San Francisco. 

The books have moved the line in accordance with the action.

One word of caution is that we're seeing some of the better NFL cappers backing the Jaguars here.
