Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.The Las Vegas Raiders arrive at Levi’s Stadium with renewed confidence. The San Francisco 49ers arrive with extra rest and something to prove.Las Vegas snapped a four-game losing streak with a 38–33 victory over the Jets, improving to 4–4. San Francisco, meanwhile, returns from its bye at 6–1 after suffering its first defeat, a 29–20 loss to Atlanta.
