Preseason Finale: Raiders' QB Race Still Open as Injury-Riddled 49ers Visit

Read the full recap →

The San Francisco 49ers travel to Las Vegas on Thursday, August 27. Kirk Cousins holds the edge over rookie Fernando Mendoza entering the finale, but the Raiders' quarterback competition remains technically open. San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan says he doesn't expect to play many, if any, starters, with roughly 20 players banged up, including Mike Evans, Christian McCaffrey, Nick Bosa and George Kittle.

Raiders' QB decision could come down to this game

With Cousins holding an edge, Mendoza's performance in the finale could still shape how the competition gets resolved before Week 1.

49ers' injury list remains extensive

With roughly 20 players banged up, San Francisco is treating this game as a true roster-bubble showcase rather than a real evaluation of its top talent.

Kurtis Rourke's rib injury lingers

The 49ers' quarterback prospect remains out with broken ribs, adding to San Francisco's already thin availability.

Pregame AI Prediction

Winner missed Confidence: Medium

How the prediction did

Predicted 16-21 (49ers vs Raiders), final was 18-12. San Francisco won 18-12 despite its extensive injury list, the model's highest-confidence miss of the finale slate.

San Francisco's roster is the most depleted in this matchup

With roughly 20 players unavailable, the 49ers have far less healthy talent to work with than a Raiders team still featuring its top two quarterback options.

Las Vegas has more established players in the mix

Even in a backup-driven finale, Cousins and Mendoza both give the Raiders more proven talent at the game's most important position.

Preseason finale randomness still applies

With so many roster-bubble players on both sides, the final margin remains hard to pin down precisely.

This is a preseason exhibition finale. San Francisco's unusually deep injury list is the standout factor, pushing this projection's confidence above a typical finale.
