Daily Madden: Raiders Vs. 49ers Which Team Needs The Confidence More?
Watch CBS News
Of all the NFL games this weekend, John Madden is most looking forward to the Eagles-Seahawks match-up in Philadelphia.
A couple of weeks away and now 28-27 on the season. Let's break down my NFL Week 14 JB Locks against the spread.
Jim Harbaugh's future employer is becoming as hotly debated as any election the fall, and like recent presidential races, bookies are now giving you the opportunity to gable on the outcome.
"I can't breathe," were the final words spoken by Eric Garner who apparently was choked to death by New York City police.
A 49ers fan who lost a cellphone at a recent game at Levi's Stadium tracked the phone's exact location, but her plea to get it back from stadium security fell on deaf ears.
Fantasy football veterans know that you don't have to be an elite team to have an elite fantasy football player (have you seen the Vikings' record with Adrian Peterson on the roster?). As it turns out, the same is true of fantasy stars coming out of college, the best NFL players don't always come from the elite schools.
The AFC is a very tight race as the season begins to round to a close and numerous teams are still fighting for a playoff spot. CBS Sports and former special teams ace Steve Tasker spoke on the match-up between the Baltimore Ravens and Miami Dolphins on "Thursday Night Football."
The Cowboys are 8-4, but if the season ended today they would not be in the playoffs. After Thursday's visit to Chicago, they go to Philadelphia, host Indianapolis, and finish at Washington.
The Oakland Raiders should have no interest whatsoever in "acquiring" Jim Harbaugh to coach their team in 2015, because they don't have enough talent to justify the move—in addition to the draft picks they would have to give up to get the fiery coach. No, the Silver & Black should look elsewhere for a new leader, and they'll need all their draft picks and current young players to attract the right coach, anyway.
The thought that Navorro Bowman could return to help the 49ers out this season does not appear likely. The only real impact he could have would be if the team makes the playoffs and that's a big if. When you put it all together, the best thing for Bowman and the 49ers is to call it a season and let him come back next year fully recovered.
In his weekly meeting with reporters Monday, 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh didn't have much to say about reports he could be traded to the Raiders or Jets.
The 49ers travel to Oakland this week to take on the Oakland Raiders. This game means everything to the 49ers and nothing to the Raiders who will only look to ruin San Francisco's season as well.
Rumors are flying that the San Francisco 49ers might trade Head Coach Jim Harbaugh to the Oakland Raiders, and that's just the icing on the cake for this Bay Area rivalry. The 49ers need a win to keep their playoff hopes alive, and the Silver & Black just need something to forget that beating they just took from the St. Louis Rams. The Sunday game at the Coliseum promises to be quite interesting.
"Personally, I think that's a bunch of crap." Remember those words? Spoken by Jim Harbaugh in September in response to Deion Sanders' report that the 49ers' locker room wanted their head coach out.
The San Francisco 49ers and Oakland Raiders head into a rare regular season matchup Sunday at O.Co Coliseum with two very different outlooks, at least for their fan bases.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers led the Packers to a 26-21 victory over another playoff-bound team in Green Bay Sunday.
After managing only three points against the Seahawks last week, the 49ers are looking for answers on offense as they get ready to play the Raiders Sunday.
At least two veteran NFL insiders report that the San Francisco 49ers will likely explore trading head coach Jim Harbaugh in the offseason.
In some ways, the silent gesture was louder than the team's dominant 52-0 victory against the Raiders.
The 2014 Oakland Raiders had nothing on the field Sunday against the St. Louis Rams, as the Silver & Black couldn't follow up their first win of the season with anything positive. The 52-0 loss in Week 13 was as bad as it gets in the modern-day NFL.
Tre Mason scored two long touchdowns and Shaun Hill accounted for three TDs in the St. Louis Rams' 52-0 rout over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.
Former Disney CEO Michael Eisner is working behind the scenes to bring an NFL team to L.A. and the Raiders are on his list.
