49ers at Raiders picks and predictions
Prediction
Raiders 17, 49ers 13
Moneyline
The 49ers starters will play briefly. The Raiders won’t play any starters, so the Niners could jump out to a lead early.
However, the Niners have scored 29 combined points in 2 games.
That said, the only way to bet the preseason is to bet the plus odds on the moneyline underdog. Preseason is too hard to predict with back-of-roster players, practice-squadders, and guys who won’t be in the NFL in Sept. playing in the 2nd half of these games.
BET RAIDERS (+260).
Against the spread
The Raiders have lost by 1 point and by 15.
The Niners have a 4-point loss and a 6-point win.
But I say never bet the spread in the preseason. There is too much volatility and unreliability to make an informed bet.
PASS.
Over/Under
You have 2 conflicting things going on here.
The Raiders have allowed no fewer than 24 points in the preseason. The Niners haven’t scored more than 16. Neither of San Francisco’s games surpassed 30 points.
The Raiders have had 2 games with totals of at least 39.
BET UNDER 32.5 (-110).
