Prediction:
This should be a rather boring game where we do not see many starters. The 49ers are in wide receiver hell right now as they lost a bunch of guys to injury and suspension. They are picking guys off of the street to see who can play. Meanwhile, Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh loves to win in his final week of preseason games at 5-0, while 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan is a mere 2-4. I trust Taylor Heinicke and Tre Lance who may want a good showing for his former team. The 49ers have Mac Jones and Kurtis Rourke on the shelf, so we will see mostly Carter Bradly for this game. I love the Chargers here to get the job done.
Chargers ML -135 – 1.5 stars
