Football sport betting letdown goes on to increase for the winless San Francisco 49ers who were a preseason NFL sports gambling fave to win the NFC West. Football gambling odds makers have been pleased with the hard play of the Raiders who have demonstrated sound NFL sports betting improvement.

The san francisco 49ers will host the Raiders on Sunday.  San Francisco started out as a 6 point fave over Oakland at the sportsbook with an over/under of 40.5.  Kickoff on CBS is scheduled for 4:10 PM Eastern.

The Oakland raiders have a record of 2-3 both straight up and with the NFL football betting lines.  Oakland has gone over the total in four from 5 games.  A week ago Oakland upset San Diego 35-27 as 7 point home longshots to snap a 2 match losing streak.

Special teams and turnovers were the crucial factor in the win over San Diego and Jason Campbell came off the bench to lead 2 second half scoring drives as qb for the wounded Bruce Gradkowski.  Michael Bush ran for 104 yards while Campbell passed for 159 yards and a td.

Oakland has a much better offense this year that rates 11th in the NFL for scoring while the defense continues to be troubled and rates 28th for points allowed.  McFadden has 392 yards rushing for the season.  Gradkowski is questionable for Sunday.

The San Francisco 49ers are collapsing in front of the whole nation and have a record of 0-5 straight up and 2-3 with the Football gambling prospects as they’ve fallen under the total in only 1 game so far this season.  The winning formula of a power running game and powerful defense that made them an 8-8 squad in 2009 has deserted San Francisco this year.

The 49ers rank thirtieth in the NFL for rushing and 31st in scoring.  The defense ranks 27th for points allowed.

Qb Alex Smith, who had a excellent comeback season a year ago, was dreadful in last week’s 27-24 loss to Philadelphia as his fumble that was returned for a td close to got him pulled as he argued with embattled head coach Mike Singletary.  Smith will start Sunday but his position is in jeopardy.

Smith was the first total pick in the 2005 NFL Draft from the University of Utah Utes. To date he hasn’t actually lived up to the distinction of being a first pick. His work basically has not made waves in the NFL. Singletary is a former linebacker for the Bears and is a NFL Hall of Fame inductee. His coaching work began as linebackers coach for the Baltimore Ravens, then for the 49ers. He became head coach in 2008 after serving as the interim head coach when Mike Nolan was let go. So far his coaching record with the 49ers has been a weak 13-17.

Oakland has played better football than San Francisco and the 49ers are in such a hole that their sense of urgency could be lacking.  Alternatively San Francisco has nothing to lose which may make them a threatening football gambling asset.
