Raiders vs 49ers Prediction
Those who have followed me over the years know my handicapping in preseason is all about the quarterback position. The rest of the positions are toss-ups, and you have no idea who is going to play nd for how long. The one constant thing is decent quarterback play and the guys who can put points on the board.
The Raiders haven’t had any success in preseason ball over the years, but they’re in a better position for this game. The Raiders have far more holes to fill, which creates competition and usually leads to more positive results. O’Connell and Mendzoa have shown flashes in the preseason and are getting consistent reps. Jones doesn’t move the needle much outside of experience, and Martinez can be heavily turnover-prone. At home, I like the Raiders to get another preseason win. I’ll lay the soft number.
