Las Vegas looks like the value at Levi's Stadium, and my Raiders vs. 49ers prediction calls for the Raiders to cover as 9.5-point underdogs.
The 49ers are coming off their Week 8 bye with injury questions on both sides of the ball, and I expect Las Vegas to hang around ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff on FOX. Check out my NFL picks for Sunday, plus our Week 9 best bets for every game.
TOP PICK
Raiders vs 49ers prediction: Raiders +9.5
This is too many points for the Las Vegas Raiders, and I'm comfortable recommending them to cover down to +8.5.
NFL favorites of at least seven points are just 6-20-3 against the spread this season, including teams trading at -9.5 or higher going 3-6 (see our Week 9 against the spread picks for every game).
The Raiders have scored the sixth-most points per game (27.6), and quarterback Kirk Cousins is Top 10 in both EPA per play and success rate.
There is a bevy of injury question marks on both sides of the ball for the San Francisco 49ers, and they ranked 14th in EPA per dropback and 15th in dropback success rate across their four games leading into their Week 8 bye.
As a result, I expect Vegas to hang around on Sunday afternoon.
COVERS INTEL: The 49ers are overvalued in the market because they've played the 11th-easiest schedule by DVOA and the ninth-easiest schedule, per PFF.
Raiders vs 49ers combo
Beyond the case for Cousins above, he's also thrown for 280.6 yards per game after a quiet Week 1, and I'm particularly impressed that his 8.8 aDOT is his highest mark since the 2016 season.
Turning to Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker, he's topped 40 receiving yards in six of eight games with an impressive 16.3 yards per reception and 13.4 aDOT this season. Cousins also has a high-end 115.0 NFL passer rating when targeting the big-play threat.
Raiders vs 49ers combo
- Raiders +9.5
- Kirk Cousins 250+ passing yards
- Tre Tucker 40+ receiving yards
Raiders vs 49ers touchdown scorer: Kaelon Black
I recommend this touchdown prop up to 30%, and it's a strong option among Raiders vs. 49ers anytime touchdown picks.
49ers running back Kaelon Black will be involved this week as star rusher Christian McCaffrey returns from a hamstring injury.
Black scored in Week 7 while rushing for 5.3 yards per carry and an impressive 3.92 yards after contact per attempt. The Raiders have surrendered a rushing score in five consecutive games for seven total.
Raiders vs 49ers player prop: Kirk Cousins 2+ passing touchdowns
This Cousins prop is in play up to 54%.
In addition to the Niners' dip in efficiency against the pass, San Fran has allowed five passing touchdowns across their past two games. Cousins has thrown for multiple touchdowns in seven of eight games, and he's thrown 23 red-zone passes over the past three weeks.
Because San Francisco ranks fourth in rush defense DVOA and has only allowed three rushing touchdowns, I expect Cousins and the Raiders will need to attack through the air to score, making Cousins a strong target among Raiders vs. 49ers props best bets.
