Chargers vs. 49ers NFL Preseason Week 3 Preview, Prediction

The 49ers will host the Chargers on Saturday Night as both teams wrap up the preseason.

Los Angeles will attempt to finish with a win and improve their record to 3-1.

I love this spot for the Chargers tonight in the first half.

Jim Harbaugh's team has the edge at the quarterback position tonight. Former 49er Trey Lance will be under center in the first half.

Lance has impressed in the preseason and will continue his success against his former team tonight.

Pick: Los Angeles Chargers 1H ML (-142, DraftKings)
