The 49ers absolutely need a win to stay in the NFC playoff hunt. The Raiders need a win just to prove that their Week 12 win against Kansas City wasn\u2019t the fluke of the year.<\/p>\n
[dfads params=’groups=63753&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n
Both teams will be motivated \u2013 so who wins? Let\u2019s break it down.<\/p>\n
49ers<\/h3>\n
Let\u2019s face it folks \u2013 the San Francisco 49ers don\u2019t look anything like the Super Bowl contender that they fancied themselves at the beginning of the year. Last week the team was humiliated on home turf in a 19-3 loss to arch rival Seattle.<\/p>\n
A common theme has emerged in the Bay Area \u2013 Colin Kaepernick continues to struggle and those struggles are bringing the team down. Last week was a new low for Kaepernick \u2013 he passed for just 121 yards and was picked off twice in the loss. We will give him a bit of a mulligan because of the fact he was facing his kryptonite Seattle but he was largely ineffective the week before against a brutal Washington defense as well.<\/p>\n
All together the 49ers are 25th in the NFL \u2013 scoring an average of just 19.2 points per game \u2013 incredible considering the talent on this club! Vernon Davis has disappeared, Michael Crabtree is nowhere to be seen and Stevie Johnson\u2019s talents have largely been wasted all season long. The running game hasn\u2019t been a whole lot better!<\/p>\n
At least the 49ers defense is still doing its part! Through all of the bad they held the Seahawks to just one offensive TD last week. <\/p>\n

The Niners get a crack at a brutal Oakland offense that failed to score one point against the Rams last week.<\/p>\n
Raiders<\/h3>\n
We all thought that the Raiders were about to turn things around after a win against the Chiefs in Week 12\u2026 then Week 13 happened in which they got destroyed 52-0 by the Rams. Ugh! Absolutely nothing went right for Oakland as they lost all good will they gained. They slid back to the conversation of the worst teams the NFL has seen in quite some time. The chore this week won\u2019t be any easier \u2013 the 49ers come to town \u2013 motivated and desperate to stay in the playoff hunt.<\/p>\n
The Raiders defense was perhaps the most disappointing part of the Week 13 loss. A week after holding Jamaal Charles down the Chiefs allowed Tre Mason a staggering 117 yards and two TDs. Shawn Hill was made to look like a top tier quarterback and the Rams unflattering rushing offense was made to look like one of the best in the game. Oakland\u2019s defense had been a \u201cstrength\u201d this year, if you can call it that but they completely unraveled last week.<\/p>\n
The Oakland offense was brutal last week as well. Derek Carr was terrible \u2013 he is now 32nd in the NFL in passing and has the task of facing a 49ers defense that has been among the best in the NFL again. It\u2019s not like Carr is getting any help from the running game \u2013 they are averaging 72.5 yards per game \u2013 bad! Hopes are that Latavius Murray can return from a concussion this week \u2013 he looks like the only serviceable offensive threat for the Raiders offense. <\/p>\n
[dfads params=’groups=63752&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n
He is still highly questionable with a concussion \u2013 if Murray doesn\u2019t play Oakland is dead in the water.<\/p>\n
