Thursday Night Football **Preview (Raiders at 49ers)**This is the one we have been waiting for folks! A battle for the ages. The best vs the best. The battle of the bay. The whimpering Raiders take on the fledgeling 49ers! This matchup personifies Thursday Night Football perfectly - two one win teams face off in a game that no one wants to win. A win for either of these teams serves only to push them down the draft board. Alas, someone must win, so let's find out who.
Despite the chaotic nature of the Raiders season - which includes purging two of their best players and throwing away at least 6 games in the 4th quarter, there have been some upside. The Derek Carr led passing attack has been serviceable, averaging 275 yards a game. While Derek will have one less “weapon” this week, as Amari Cooper will be busy making his Cowboys debut, the 49ers lackluster pass defense should leave lots of room for Carr to work.
The Niners defense is allowing 29.50 points per game and over 350 yards. That’s a lot of ground to cover for QB CJ Beathard - or possibly *checks paper* Nick Mullens? However they will be squaring off with quite possibly the worst defense in the league. The Raiders defensive unit is allowed over 31 points a game and over 400 yards, with 144 of those yards coming on the ground - a number that puts them last in the league. It appears that 49ers standout RB Matt Breida will be good to go tonight, which could spell disaster for the Raiders.Overall it will be a battle of two offenses trying to find their footing facing off against perhaps the two worst defenses in the league. Derek Carr should have a field day, but the 49ers should be able to control the pace of the game with their superior run game. The Raiders defense will be wore down and wore out by the time the 4th quarter comes around, which will allow the 49ers to run away with it.
