Raiders vs Chargers Prediction
The current betting odds have the Chargers listed as a 9.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Chargers have looked good in their games this season with their 7-4 record overall which has them right near the top of the AFC West. They have looked good on their home field too with their 3-2 home record. Meanwhile, the Raiders have looked terrible in their games this season with their 2-9 record overall which has them right at the bottom of the AFC West with one of the worst records in the entire NFL. They have also been a terrible road team this year with their 1-4 road record. They are off a 24-10 loss to the Browns in their last one and they have one of the worst offenses in the NFL. Geno Smith hasn't looked good all season and they haven't even been moving the ball in their games. The Chargers haven't looked great lately either, off a 35-6 loss to the Jaguars in their last one, but they still have a lot more talent on their team. The Chargers are also coming out of their bye week so they have had extra time to prepare and they are in desperate need of a get right game which they should get here. The Chargers have had their issues on defense this year, but they should look a lot better against this Raiders offense. The Raiders aren't going to be able to slow down this Chargers offense either. The best way to place a bet here is on the Chargers to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
“We’re pretty disappointed about this one, but if you don’t score, you can’t win and we couldn’t score. The numbers are, whatever, they’re next to nothing. We had opportunities to make big plays, and we didn’t hit them. Quarterback was under duress the entire time, so our ability to match up with their pass rush didn’t work out well.” - Pete Carroll after his team’s loss against the Browns in their last game.
“We just weren’t doing anything well. Offensively, we weren’t running the ball well, we weren’t protecting, we weren’t getting open. Defensively, the same. We weren’t stopping the run. We’re losing coverage. I mean, go through every phase. We got beat every which way you care to get beat.” - Jim Harbaugh after his team’s loss against the Jaguars in their last game.
