The Oakland Raiders have outperformed the 49ers when you compare the points each team has allowed their opponents to obtain. The Oakland Raiders have a smaller difference between the points they have received compared to those of opponent. The Raiders, to date, have a 2-3 win-loss record.

The 49ers have a 0-5 win-loss record.

You must consider that the 49ers may have a powerful motivation to win, since their present record is 0-5, a drastic decline from 2009.

The Oakland Raiders need to stay on top of the situation during each and every quarter.

It is hoped that the drive to get a back-to-back win is far greater than the drive of the opponent.

Go Raiders! Don't break the Raiders Nation's hearts in San Francisco.
