San Francisco is 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games following a win and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS win while the under is 7-3 in their last 10 road games. Las Vegas is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games against a team with a winning record while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games against a team with a winning record.
I get the case to be made on either side in this one, but I’m sticking with the 49ers. I just want no part of the Raiders right now even if they need the win and are at home, especially when you have the Niners on the other side who have clearly rallied around Brock Purdy as their QB for the season and it’s going to be very interesting what happens when Jimmy G gets back on track and Trey Lance comes back in the future. But for right now, the 49ers are playing to well to go against so give me the Niners here.
