Lorenzo Reyes: 49ers 30, Chargers 20
The Chargers escaped Sunday in a game they should’ve lost. Their offense is frustratingly inefficient at times, and coordinator Joe Lombardi’s job is in peril. San Francisco is at home and off the bye.
Safid Deen: 49ers 27, Chargers 20
The injured Chargers are finding a way to stay alive this season, but it won’t find success against a revamped 49ers team pushing toward the Super Bowl this season. It’ll be hard fought, but San Francisco wins.
Lance Pugmire: 49ers 30, Chargers 17
Plagued by injuries and dubious coaching, Los Angeles falls prey to the sudden NFC power on Sunday night. At least the Chargers don’t have to feel the sting of playing a road game at home given what the 49ers’ throng annually do to the Rams.
Jarrett Bell: 49ers 27, Chargers 24
Nate Davis: 49ers 27, Chargers 23
Tyler Dragon: 49ers 27, Chargers 24
