NFL Week 9 expert picks: NFL 49ers expected to handle Raiders

The San Francisco 49ers are 6-1 and looking to bounce back from their loss to the Atlanta Falcons before their Week 8 bye. They'll return to Levi's Stadium in Week 9 to host the Las Vegas Raiders, who enter the matchup at 4-4.

NFL experts are expecting the 49ers to get back on track, even without a few of their offensive stars. San Francisco received 45 of 52 picks across seven major outlets, with the Raiders getting the other seven. Bleacher Report was the only outlet to lean toward Las Vegas, with four of its seven analysts picking the Raiders. Sports Illustrated had one analyst pick the Raiders, while CBS Sports had two.
