The San Francisco 49ers will look to keep rising in the NFC standings when they travel to take on the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 17. The 49ers are coming off of a stellar 37-20 win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday. Tight end George Kittle logged 120 yards and 2 touchdowns on 6 catches.

Meanwhile, the Raiders fell short in a 13-10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 16 after they gave up a touchdown with under 2 minutes to go. Quarterback Derek Carr had one of his worst outings of the year, tallying 174 yards, 1 touchdown and 3 interceptions on a 53.3% completion rate (16-of-30).

49ers vs Raiders Prediction & Pick

The 49ers know that every win down the stretch is important as they attempt to lock down the No. 2 or No. 3 seed in the NFC. The good news is that they run into a Raiders team that has little left to fight for at this point. Another devastating loss in Week 16 eliminated Las Vegas from playoff contention.

San Francisco thrives when it comes to shutting opposing offenses down. It has posted the best total DVOA rating in the NFL and ranks first in opponent points per game (15.3) as well as first in opponent yards per game (290.3). Asking any team, especially the Raiders, to beat that is going to be difficult.

San Francisco is riding an eight-game winning streak and I expect that mark to reach nine on Sunday.

Final Score Prediction: 49ers: 28 | Raiders: 20

49ers vs Raiders Best Bet

Seeing this spread listed at less than a touchdown seems surprising. The 49ers are 6-0 against the spread (ATS) in their last six games and have earned an outright win of more than 6 points in each of those contests. San Francisco is also a ridiculous 10-0 ATS in its last 10 games played in January.

The 49ers play their best football at the end of the season, while the Raiders do not. Las Vegas is 2-4 ATS in its last six games played in January and 1-4 ATS in its last five head-to-head matchups against San Francisco, too. Carr is not going to be able to figure out this defense in time to stay competitive.

Bet: San Francisco -6 (-110)
