NFL Player Odds and Props
Las Vegas Raiders
Brock Bowers Anytime Touchdown (+140)
Bowers caught seven passes on 10 targets for 92 yards and two touchdowns against the Jets.
He remains Kirk Cousins’ most dangerous receiving option, especially near the goal line.
Ashton Jeanty Over 28.5 Receiving Yards (-137)
Jeanty caught three passes for 64 yards against New York despite receiving only two rushing attempts.
He has exceeded this receiving-yardage threshold in seven of eight games, making his passing-game involvement especially important against San Francisco.
San Francisco 49ers
Christian McCaffrey Anytime Touchdown (-263)
McCaffrey scored on a one-yard run against Atlanta, continuing his importance near the goal line.
Las Vegas surrendered 166 rushing yards against the Jets, creating a favourable matchup if McCaffrey is healthy.
Brock Purdy Over 243.5 Passing Yards (-118)
Purdy has thrown for 1,748 yards and 15 touchdowns through seven games.
He has surpassed this passing-yardage threshold in four appearances, including 288 yards against Atlanta.
Las Vegas allowed Jets quarterback Geno Smith to throw for 290 yards last week.
Las Vegas Raiders
Las Vegas enters following an encouraging offensive performance against the Jets.
Cousins completed 19 of 26 passes for 247 yards and three touchdowns without an interception, adding a rushing score.
Bowers caught two touchdowns, while Jalen Nailor scored the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter.
Dylan Laube returned a kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown.
However, the Raiders managed only 95 rushing yards, with Mike Washington Jr. accounting for 83 on 25 carries. Jeanty’s rushing role has diminished sharply.
Cornerback Darien Porter’s groin injury warrants monitoring.
Las Vegas must improve its run defence and prevent explosive passing plays against a more formidable opponent.
San Francisco 49ers
San Francisco returns from its bye looking to address the mistakes that contributed to its first defeat.
Purdy threw for 288 yards and a touchdown against Atlanta but was intercepted twice.
The 49ers committed four turnovers, undermining an otherwise productive offensive performance.
McCaffrey rushed for a touchdown and caught six passes for 61 yards.
His hamstring condition remains in flux, while several other San Francisco players are also dealing with injuries.
The 49ers have the advantage of extra preparation time and home-field familiarity.
Protecting the football and establishing McCaffrey early should help San Francisco control the matchup.
