The set-up: The 49ers and Chargers are both 1-2 this preseason and meet tonight in San Diego to wrap up their respective exhibition schedules. Both teams have Week 1 division games looming (the 49ers open at home vs. the Rams, while the Chargers open at the Chiefs) but while the Chargers have a settled QB position situation with Rivers, the same can't be said of San Francisco's QB situation. Chip Kelly hasn't tipped his hand on how his QB depth chart will look at the end of the preseason other than to confirm that he believes Blaine Gabbert and Colin Kaepernick are his two best options. Gabbert won't play against the Chargers while Kaepernick is expected to start and get an extended look. Obviously, Kaepernick's decision to sit during the national anthem in Week 3 has created a controversy, but the bottom line is that Kaepernick has taken just 13 live-game reps this preseason and without an off-season program to get reps, his exposure to Kelly and his staff has been limited

The pick: No one really knows what the Niners' plans for Kaepernick are, so how Driskel and Ponder play in this one (following Kaepernick) could convince the Niners to view things a little differently. Meanwhile, the Chargers had many offensive line injuries last season but the team says that's helped them develop depth by playing the back-ups, something which could help them here, in the second half. San Diego won impressively 19-3 over the Cardinals (a Super Bowl contender) in its lone previous home game this preseason and the 49ers own just too many questions to back in this spot. San Diego is a 10* play.
