Raiders at 49ers odds, lines, picks and predictions
Prediction
49ers 20, Raiders 16
Money line
The 49ers (-230) are likely to use both QBs Jimmy Garoppolo and rookie Trey Lance, which isn’t great news for the Raiders (+180). While head coach Kyle Shanahan has tabbed Jimmy G for Week 1, we’ll still likely see both going hard in this one.
However, you cannot risk more than two times your potential return on a preseason game, so AVOID, and look to the spread instead.
Against the spread
The RAIDERS +5.5 (-108) are a decent play catching the points, as QB Nathan Peterman has been surprisingly effective seeing a bulk of the work under center in the preseason. QB Marcus Mariota could also make his preseason debut after dealing with a quadriceps injury.
Over/Under
OVER 35.5 (-115) is the lean, ever so slightly. We should see the starters go a little longer in this one, and that will make all the difference.
The Over cashed in all four of the preseason games Friday, and we should see a slight uptick in scoring in this one.
