More NFL preseason action and QBs will be key in the 49ers game in Vegas. Let's go Covers!
I’m not a massive fan of betting the moneyline, especially in preseason games, but the 49ers come into this as -170 favorites over the +165 Raiders. Given my confidence around the quality of the Niners backups, I’m happy to back them on the spread where I think you’re getting far better value.
With Lance and Darnold both playing, there’s a potential we could see high scoring from the Niners regardless of who is catching those passes. There’s simply too much experience, knowledge, and arm talent under center for the Niners. I’m also happy taking the likes of 49ers -2.5 to win the first half, and a winning margin of 7-12 points, which you can still find for +350.
The total sits at 36 points, but for me, this is one to avoid. I do think we see the 49ers put at least three touchdowns on the board, but I have no belief that the Raiders, with poor QB play and Zamir White at running back, are going to put up enough points to back the Over. I’d rather let the total play out without a wager and focus my efforts on the spread, which feels like the far safer option.Kyle Shanahan teams are 10-8 straight up throughout preseason and only have a losing record in one of the past five preseasons. Most importantly for us, his teams are 4-1 in the opening week, a better record than he has in any other week. Find more
