Why are 49ers favored by 7 against the RAIDERS?

Raiders are competitive this year, and Singletary said Alex Smith will be starting.  Isn't Raiders +7, a no-brainer?

Not gonna block 2 punts recover 2 fumbles in red-zone and Oakland like there fans suck ass go take a shower Oakland.

Watch all the games carefully and you'll realize that the niners don't get beat, they lose the games themselves. The line I imagine is set for a mistake free team on Sunday, something the oddsmakers believe will eventually happen. 

yea, but Alex Smith can still throw 3 INT's and Gore can still get 2 fumbles.  Plus, the 49ers' D is very overrated.  Willis didn't even do shit vs the Eagles.

You didn't hear??

Jed York said the niners are going to win the division...that's why its 7

what sportsbook is that in your avatar?

that sportsbook looks kinda like Caesar's

ok, so the 49ers are only -3 vs the Eagles, and now they are -7 vs the Raiders?  Raiders have the better coach, better D, better QB, what does the 49ers have that is better? 

They can win by 20pts if they don't keep giving the other team the football.

Raiders +7 is the best play here. I agree.

Shaun Hill is a better QB than Alex Smith. They traded the wrong QB.

gimme the points !

49ers win big, BIG.

Just love how people overreact to a line without even giving it consideration whatsoever.

I took the 49ers last night but i realized something while watching the game last night. When Alex Smith was allowed to run the offense he looked great when they huddled and took the play call is when he had problems. Smith is a real smart kid and i think if he had more of a lets say Peyton Manning role on the offense they can prevail as a good offense i know he has going through several o coordinators but maybe he should be his own?

Alex Smith still threw an INT on that last drive to cement the Eagles win.

I doubt the Raiders will have a let-down.  This is basically their arch-rival.  Both teams hate each other.

I live in SF.  Lots of problems here.  (1) new O coordinator every year.  (2)  Smith ran the spread out of Utah (3) SF runs the opposite of the spread.  He almost always looks good when running a shotgun O, but SF/Singletary will never run that kind of O.  Local radio is extremely amusing to listen to..."Singletary is not qualified to coach!!...Smith is a bum!!...Gore up the middle for little or no gain!!.." It's awesome.  Porous OL, conservative play calling, non-analytical head coach, no O coordinator consistency for 6 years, inexplicable turnover problems (Gore had two last night, but nobody will blame him for the loss), QB who maybe isn't suited to pro style O...all this and more...

That said.  They lost to NO by 3, Atl by 2, and Phi by 3.  Their D overall is legit.  The numbers don't show it yet, but the season is young.  They will win soon.  I might just wager that they'll win by 7 this weekend.  I think the most important thing to look at is what the books are telling you.  They are begging for Oak backers.  Just like they were begging for Den, KC, NO backers this past weekend.  When it looks like "wow, how can I pass this up," you gotta be real careful...

Someone lost some money on SD

49ers D is overrated.  LeSean McCoy was running thru holes as big as a tunnel.  Their D line isn't that good.  I never even heard Patrick Willis' name all game.  He was nowhere to be found.  Clements is overpaid, and their safeties are slow.  49ers Offense is horrible too. 

sorry SF just blows, Singletary is gonna be lookin for a new job soon, Alex Smith is just as bad.  

SF 24 OAK 10 write it down,
San Diego made them look incredible lol ya whatever

San Fran Rolls!!!

37-13

If its Gradkowski and he is healthy Oakland has a chance but I think the SF D will overpower them,  Smith has to tool on someone this game should get ugly.
