The 49ers came from behind to beat the Cowboys 20-13 last week and cover the spread as 6.5-point underdogs. San Fran scored 17 second half points as the under covered.

The Chargers were beaten by the Falcons on a last second touchdown by backup quarterback Chris Redman. San Diego was a 3-point under dog, so the game was a push, while the 51 points went over the posted total of 42.5.

Oddsmakers from online sports book SPORTSBETTING.com have made the Chargers 4-point home favorites over the 49ers on Friday might, while the over/under total has been set at 37.

The Chargers wonโ€™t risk playing their starters, so donโ€™t expect to see Philip Rivers, LaDainian Tomlinson or Shawne Merriman play much against the 49ers, if at all. Expect San Fran to use a heavy dose of back up running back Glen Coffee, who has been impressive thus far in preseason.
