Week 17: 49ers @ Raiders
Posted: Sun Jan 1, 2023 2:46 pm
Garoppolo out
Givens out
Deebo out, but did return to practice this week and looks on track to return next week
Hyder Questionable
Ambry Thomas questionable
Kemoko Turay & Tay Martin elevated from the practice squad.
Raiders benched Carr, and Jarrett Stidham will be making his first career start today.
Only 2 games left, and 9ers still have a solid chance of getting the #2 seed and outside chance at the #1 seed.
Minnesota is at Green Bay, which would seem to be a tough spot with the Packers coming on as of late. Philly will be without Hurts again, but they are still the heavy favorites hosting the Saints today.
If the 9ers win today and both Philly and Minnesota loses, next week is going to become really interesting. That would move the 9ers into the #2 seed, needing a win at home against Arizona and a loss by Philly at home to a Giants team that will still probably be fighting for their playoff lives. It would also put a ton of pressure on Philly to seriously consider trotting Hurts out there who probably wouldn't be quite ready to get back on the field and be his true self. Other than being all Sunday games, the NFL hasn't announce kickoff times for any games next week. They are going to see how this week goes, and cherry pick the time slots for maximum drama.
But in order to keep moving up hopes alive, 9ers need to keep on winning. So lets go get this W today.
