Raiders (1-6) at 49ers (1-7)

Time, TV: 8:20 p.m. ET Thursday. Fox, NFL Network Pregame.com line: 49ers by 3

Raiders’ keys: They have to protect QB Derek Carr, who is at his best when he can get in a rhythm and keep his eyes up the field. They have enough weapons with RB Jalen Richard, WR Seth

Roberts, WR Martavis Bryant and TE Jared Cook to slice up a banged-up, rebuilding 49ers defense.

49ers’ keys: QB C.J. Beathard has to hit a couple of big throws and limit turnovers and coach Kyle Shanahan’s scheme alone will churn out some points. TE George Kittle and WR Marquise Goodwin have to be involved in the passing game.

Who wins? This Battle of the Bay doesn’t come with much luster, but Oakland has the slight edge in talent, especially at quarterback. Raiders, 30-27
