The San Francisco 49ers and Las Vegas Raiders will face off in NFL Preseason Week 2 action on Saturday afternoon.

The 49ers didn't play almost any starters their Week 1 loss to the Denver Broncos, while the Raiders played to a rare preseason tie against the Seattle Seahawks. This time around, the 49ers are planning on playing the majority of their starters, including quarterback, Brock Purdy.

Let's dive into the odds and my best bets for this exhibition showdown.

49ers vs. Raiders Prediction and Pick

The 49ers may have gotten trounced by the Broncos in their first preseason game, but I think they bounce back now in Week 2 with the majority of their starters getting some playing time.

We saw Geno Smith in the Raiders' first preseason game, but he threw just three balls, and their rookie running back, Ashton Jeanty, got just three carries. If they see the same amount of plays in Week 2, the 49ers are going to have the advantage in terms of starters' snap count.

I'll back the 49ers, who are getting more than a field goal in this one.
