With the race for the No. 1 seed in the NFC, and the race for the NFC West division crown in mind, let’s look at a handful of games that have an effect on the 49ers, and which teams the 49ers should be rooting for in those games:

Previewing the best games of Week 7 including Washington, Oregon

Washington and Oregon take the headlines for Week 7 followed by Notre Dame and USC.

The biggest game of the week matches No. 7 Washington and No. 8 Oregon. The game features two Heisman contenders and perhaps two of the most underrated teams in college football.
