The Las Vegas Raiders (6-9) are set to make their first appearance since benching Derek Carr when they host Brock Purdy and the red-hot San Francisco 49ers (11-4) on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium. 26-year-old Jarrett Stidham will be making his first career NFL start in place of Carr. Las Vegas is 4-2 at home, while San Francisco is 4-3 on the road. The 49ers enter this game riding an eight game winning streak after knocking off the Washington Commanders 37-20 in Week 16. The Raiders will be looking to bounce back from a 13-10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Kickoff is at 4:05 p.m. ET. San Francisco is favored by 9.5 points in the latest Raiders vs. 49ers odds from Caesars Sportsbook, and the over/under is set at 42.5. Before making any 49ers vs. Raiders picks, you’ll want to see the NFL predictions and betting advice from the proven computer simulation model at SportsLine.
The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up more than $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 16 of the 2022 NFL season on an incredible 157-113 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season. The model ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the past six years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 94% of CBS Sports Football Pick’em players four times during that span. Anyone who has followed it is way up.
Now, the model has set its sights on Raiders vs. 49ers, and just locked in its picks and NFL Week 17 predictions. You can head to SportsLine now to see the model’s picks. Here are several NFL odds and betting lines for Raiders vs. Niners:
There was early excitement for the Raiders after they claimed the game’s first points this past Saturday, but it was the Pittsburgh Steelers who ended up claiming the victory. Las Vegas fell just short of Pittsburgh by a score of 13-10. Carr had a tough game, throwing one touchdown, three interceptions and only totaling 174 yards passing.
The biggest story around the NFL this week was the Raiders’ decision to bench Carr and move to Stidham. Las Vegas head coach Josh McDaniels is familiar with Stidham from their time together with the Patriots, but the 2019 fourth round pick will be making his first professional start on Sunday, and his ability to guide a NFL offense is largely unknown. In spot duty, Stidham has completed 32 of 61 passes for 342 yards, two touchdowns, and four interceptions. Running back Josh Jacobs leads the NFL in rushing with 1,539 yards and 11 touchdowns on 306 carries.
Meanwhile, San Francisco’s offense rose to the challenge against a Washington defense that boasted an average of only 19.7 points allowed. The Niners claimed a 37-20 victory over the Washington Commanders this past Saturday. Tight end George Kittle was one of the most active players for the team, catching six passes for 120 yards and two touchdowns. That receiving effort made it the first game that Kittle has posted more than 100 yards receiving in 2022.
The 49ers have an outside shot at landing the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs. They would need to win out and have the Philadelphia Eagles lose out and the Vikings drop at least on more game for it to happen, but mathematically there is still a chance. San Francisco boasts the NFL best defense in 2022, leading the NFL in total yards allowed per game (290.3), rushing yards allowed per game (75.0), and points allowed per game (15.3).
The model has simulated Raiders vs. 49ers 10,000 times and the results are in. The model is leaning Under on the point total, and it’s also generated a point-spread pick that is hitting in well over 50% of simulations. You can only see the model’s pick at SportsLine.
So who wins 49ers vs. Raiders? And which side of the spread hits well over 50% of the time? Visit SportsLine now to see which side of the Raiders vs. 49ers spread you need to jump on Sunday, all from the model that has crushed its NFL picks, and find out.
