Los Angeles Chargers vs. San Francisco 49ers Betting Preview
The Los Angeles Chargers are locked and loaded for the 2023 season. The Chargers did not use any other quarterback than Easton Stick in their loss to the Saints. He was sacked five times and threw two interceptions. That gives Justin Herbert an opportunity to play a little in this preseason finale. Herbert is going to be one of the contenders to win the 2023 NFL MVP.
The Chargers will use a combination of Keenan Allen, Joshua Palmer, Mike Williams, and Austin Ekeler to move the football this season. That is a very talented group. Unfortunately, another talented player – Jalen Guyton, one of the receivers, finds himself on the Los Angeles Chargers Injury Report with an ACL injury.
The Los Angeles Chargers NFL Schedule shows them starting the regular season at home against the Miami Dolphins. After that, they will play at the Titans and Vikings.
The San Francisco 49ers roster is loaded. Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, and George Kittle are on the offensive side, with a ton of studs on the defensive side. The two biggest questions for the 49ers are Nick Bosa and his contract dispute, and who is going to step up and take over the quarterback role – Trey Lance or Brock Purdy.
There is no doubt that the 49ers are going to run the ball in 2023. Coach Shanahan will put Christian McCaffrey in his first full season with the team to work. McCaffrey put together some of the best NFL Player Stats a season ago and hopes to improve on that this season to give himself a chance when discussing NFL MVP odds.
The 49ers start the 2023 regular season with two road games. The 49ers will play at Pittsburgh and then head to Los Angeles to take on the Rams.
Los Angeles Chargers vs. San Francisco 49ers Betting Prediction
This is one of the great NFL Matchups! Two teams that have the same goal in mind. Improve from a season ago, and get back to the postseason, and go further. The Chargers are disappointed a season ago and know they have much more to offer in the playoffs.
The 49ers made the NFC title game and have the hunger to move one step closer this season. Both teams are very talented. Look for this to be a dress rehearsal for several guys, but mostly guys that are looking to make the final roster.
The starters are not going to get a ton of time. Our final Chargers vs. 49ers Betting Analysis – Take the underdog to cover this game. So the final bets for this game are the Los Angeles Chargers +6 over the San Francisco 49ers and sprinkle a little on the Chargers +210.
