If there were any team in the league right now that could be considered worse than the Raiders https://www.raiderslockerroom.com/authentic-antonio-brown-jersey , it would be the 49ers. They have just one win this season, none since starting quarterback Jimmy Garappolo went down with an injury and they are coming off losing to a dreadful Cardinals team last week for the SECOND TIME this season.But no. Even Vegas oddsmakers think the 49ers will beat the Raiders. The line favors the 49ers by three points at Levi’s Stadium Thursday night.Matchup : Trends : Free PicksThis isn’t to say the Raiders have somehow earned the right to be favored or even seen on equal footing as their cross-bay rivals. They certainly haven’t done that. They’ve lost three straight, mostly ugly losses too and their only win of the season was in overtime to the Browns who are so bad, they just fired head coach Hue Jackson and offensive coordinator Todd Haley.It just kinda seems like if the Raiders have a shot to win another game this season, it would be this one. The 49ers may not even be starting CJ Beathard this week as he is a game time decision with a wrist injury. Should he not be able to go, it would be 2017 undrafted free agent Nick Mullens getting the start. A guy who has been cut twice since last year and spent most of his time in San Francisco on the practice squad, never appearing in an NFL game.Somehow, that doesn’t offer a lot of comfort though. Mainly because that means the Raiders have no tape on him outside of college and the preseason. And it just gives the Raiders two quarterbacks to prepare for instead of one.All that said, the Raiders do have a very good chance to beat the odds this week. Especially if Derek Carr and the offense can put up a fight as they did last week against the Colts. That too is far from a guarantee.Update: Two hours after Nick Mullens was announced as the 49ers starting QB, the betting line moved from 49ers being favored by threee to Raiders favored by one.Follow @LeviDamien SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Nick Mullens got several hundred congratulatory text messages, a phone call from Brett Favre and his Twitter account verified.Delivering the most productive game by a quarterback in his NFL debut since the merger leads to many accolades.Mullens threw for 262 yards and three touchdowns and the San Francisco 49ers thoroughly dominated the Battle of the Bay, beating the Oakland Raiders 34-3 on Thursday night.The former undrafted free agent out of Favre’s alma mater Southern Mississippi finished 16 for 22 in place of the injured C.J. Beathard and had a 151.9 passer rating, the highest for a quarterback with at least 15 attempts in an NFL debut since the 1970 merger.“I think I’m here for a reason. This is my opportunity to prove that I can play,” Mullens said. “Today’s thing was just attack your job and worry about what matters. What mattered most tonight was the team and how we played.”The Niners (2-7) couldn’t have played much better in snapping a six-game losing streak and winning for just the second time in two years without Jimmy Garoppolo at quarterback.Mullens threw TD passes to Pierre Garcon and Kendrick Bourne on the opening two drives and connected on a 71-yard one-handed catch-and-run play to George Kittle to set up a third TD pass to Kittle. Raheem Mostert added a 52-yard TD run and the defense generated eight sacks for the first time since 2009.But the story of the game was Mullens, got rid of the ball quickly and took advantages of several breakdowns in coverage for big plays, including the 24-yard TD pass to a wide-open Garcon on the opening drive.“It was cool that he didn’t change under the big lights and these circumstances,” cornerback Richard Sherman said. “We’re not really surprised. We’ve seen him do it in practice. He plays with a lot of confidence.”With Garoppolo out for the season and Beathard having lost nine of 10 career starts Womens Derek Carr Jersey , the inevitable question will be whether Mullens will take over as starter for the next game Nov. 12 against the New York Giants.“We’ll definitely consider it,” coach Kyle Shanahan said. “I’m definitely not thinking about it right now. Our whole team played very well. They definitely did.”The Raiders (1-7) clearly didn’t, losing for the fourth straight time, getting outscored by 85 points during the skid.“I know it’s not looking pretty right now,” coach Jon Gruden said. “I’ve heard a lot of negativity over the last six, seven months and rightfully so. But we’re going to build a championship football team here.”In what was perhaps the worst prime-time matchup in NFL history, only the Raiders played down to expectations. They provided little resistance on defense against an undrafted quarterback making his NFL debut, did nothing offensively after driving for as field goal on the opening drive and put together the most listless performance yet in Gruden’s second stint as coach.Carr finished 16 for 22 for 171 yards and was sacked seven times before being replaced by AJ McCarron in the fourth quarter. McCarron was sacked once behind a banged-up offensive line.“It’s a frustrating thing to be sitting on the record you have, be going through some of the things we’re going through as an offense and still not being able to put points on the board,” tight end Jared Cook said. “It’s definitely frustrating because we know the talent we have in this room is way better than that and way better than what we portray on the field.”UNDER PRESSURECarr was sacked four times in the first half for the first time in his career as the Raiders struggled to provide much protection against a 49ers defense that has not generated much pressure all year. Dekoda Watson had 1 1/2 sacks in his first game of the season after getting activated from IR earlier in the day.RING CEREMONYFormer Niners receiver ring at a halftime ceremony. Owens was voted into the Hall of Fame earlier this year but skipped the induction ceremony in Canton, Ohio, to hold his own celebration at his college in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Owens said he was upset at the voters who made him wait three years for the honor, saying he believed they brought in off-field issues into their deliberations instead of focusing solely on what Owens did as a player.“This is awesome,” Owens said before the game. “This is an opportunity to give something to the fans. Ever since I left in 2003 and went on and did some great things, but this is where it started my first eight years of my career.”INJURIESRaiders left tackle Kolton Miller left with a knee injury. … Mostert broke his forearm in the third quarter and will miss the rest of the season.UP NEXTRaiders: Host Los Angeles Chargers on Nov. 11.49ers: Host New York Giants on Nov. 12.
