The Las Vegas Raiders pretty much announced their season was over when they benched Derek Carr and decided to roll with backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham.
But, just because their season is over that doesn't mean they can't still try to win to have something to build on next season.
So, I'm sure they will still take any advantage over the 49ers that they can get. And it just so happens that they have one.
The Las Vegas Raiders are coming into this game fairly healthy. They only have two players on the injury report for Sunday's game.
Offensive tackle Jackson Barton is questionable with a back injury and rookie running back Zamir White is questionable with an ankle injury.
At the same time, the Raiders have two important guys in Chandler Jones and Denzel Perryman on the injured reserve list.
As for the San Francisco 49ers, they can't really say the same.
Kevin Givens and Deebo Samuel are listed as out. The Samuel one is huge for the Raiders and he is one of the best weapons in the league, and now they don't even have to worry about him.
Defensive lineman Kerry Hyder and cornerback Ambry Thomas are both questionable with ankle injuries.
The 49ers, like always it seems, are a bit beat up. Even guys like Nick Bosa, Trent Williams, and Arik Armstead were on the injury report with some issues but are playing.
The Raiders need to use this as an advantage. If they want to see what could be for next season, their best bet is to use this and win on Sunday.
