Las Vegas Raiders Form
Las Vegas go into this matchup having ended a four-game losing run last weekend, improving their record to 4-4.
The Raiders made a flying start to the season as they won their first three games, starting with a 27-13 victory at home to Miami.
They then backed that up on the road as they downed the Los Angeles Chargers, 26-14, and New Orleans, 35-27.
Las Vegas went cold after that though, as they lost 30-27 to Kansas City, 45-17 at New England, 33-30 to Buffalo and 35-21 to the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Raiders finally stopped the rot last weekend, as they got back to .500 with a 38-33 win at the New York Jets.
San Francisco 49ers Form
San Francisco return from the bye week looking to bounce back from their first defeat of the season, which dropped them to 6-1.
The 49ers made the long trip to Australia for the season-opener, but made it a worthwhile visit as they beat the Los Angeles Rams 27-7.
They then built on that success at home as they beat Miami 35-13, Arizona 36-30 and Denver 24-14.
San Francisco made it five-in-a-row as they went out on the road to beat Seattle 32-29, and made it six straight as they returned home to beat Washington 23-17.
The 49ers failed to make it to 7-0 however, as they suffered a surprise 29-20 defeat in Atlanta last time out.
Verdict
That loss in Atlanta was a bad one for San Francisco, but nobody in the 49ers camp will be panicking.
This Las Vegas defense is there for the taking, and we expect Brock Purdy & Co. to take full advantage as the 49ers win the game by double digits.
