02 / THE GAME STORY

A productive Raiders attack tests San Francisco

The Raiders average 27.6 points, close to San Francisco’s 28.1, but allow 28.8 compared with the 49ers’ 19.9. That defensive separation explains the home-favourite position. Las Vegas has also allowed 33, 35 and 33 in its last three, so matching scores for four quarters is a demanding plan.

San Francisco’s attacking names are prominent on the injury report: McCaffrey, Evans and Samuel missed Wednesday. Their eventual availability matters more than treating a bye as automatic recovery. The model prefers the Raiders’ points as an analysis lean and passes on the total; neither is a formal selection.
