Chargers vs 49ers Preseason Betting Prediction
The Chargers and 49ers renew their preseason rivalry in Week 3, and this matchup comes with intriguing betting angles. From a betting perspective, this game lines up as a battle between a Chargers team that thrives in preseason betting situations and a 49ers team that has been inconsistent but carries strong defensive metrics. The total could be especially worth watching—Los Angeles leans toward overs, while San Francisco trends toward unders, creating a clash of styles. If the Chargers’ efficient offense and low-turnover rate hold up, they could once again take advantage of San Francisco’s shaky home spread record. On the flip side, if the 49ers’ defense plays to its ranking and their Saturday success continues, bettors backing San Francisco could cash in. This game is a classic preseason betting puzzle—Chargers backers have history and momentum on their side, but the 49ers bring the defensive edge and situational strength that could swing the outcome.

Chargers vs 49ers Preseason Betting Prediction: Los Angeles
Los Angeles has been one of the strongest teams against the spread, holding an impressive 11-4 mark in their last 15 games. They’ve also shown a clear tendency for overs, with all of their last eight games sailing past the point total. That type of betting consistency is rare in the preseason, where rotations and depth usually create volatility. Against the 49ers specifically, the Chargers have had the upper hand, winning five of the last six meetings, which only strengthens their betting value heading into this contest.

Chargers vs 49ers Preseason Betting Prediction: San Francisco
San Francisco, on the other hand, has been far less predictable. While their defense continues to rank among the league’s best in certain statistical categories—particularly against the pass—their recent preseason form has been shaky. The 49ers are just 1-4 against the spread in their last five home games, and they’ve struggled against AFC competition as well, posting a 1-4 record in their last five interconference matchups. Even at home against the Chargers, they’ve been unreliable, going just 1-6 ATS in their last seven meetings. Despite that, San Francisco’s strong track record on Saturdays, with a 12-3 record in their last 15 such games, adds an interesting wrinkle for bettors.

- The over/under record for San Francisco’s previous six games is 1-5.

- In its previous five games played at home, San Francisco has a record of 1-4 against the spread.
