San Francisco at Los Angeles

San Francisco has high hopes for rookie quarterback Trey Lance, and he did throw an 80-yard TD pass in the 49ers' 19-16 loss to Kansas City. His final numbers, though, were not as impressive as he completed just 5 of 14 for 128 yards with a TD and no interceptions. Josh Rosen went 10 of 15 for 93 yards and is a capable backup if he can stay healthy for a change. Starter Jimmy Garoppolo completed all three of his passes for 26 yards. The Niners racked up 175 rushing yards, led by JaMycal Hasty with 63. The Chargers edged the Rams, 13-6, with Chase Daniel throwing for 104 yards on 15 of 24. Easton Stick also went 7 of 7 for 63 yards. Los Angeles had an opening drive that was 21 plays, but the Chargers managed only a field goal against mostly reserves on the Rams defense. The teams met in the final 2019 preseason game, and the game went OVER by 17 points as San Francisco won three of four in the preseason. Justin Herbert has been ruled out of the preseason by first-year coach Brandon Staley, and Lance will get every opportunity to overtake Garoppolo for the starting role. Look for the rookie to put up better numbers this week. Take the 49ers for a Max Play and the OVER.
