Chargers vs Raiders Prediction
Both of these teams come into this matchup looking to bounce back from ugly losses last time out, but the Chargers will be at home. Los Angeles has won three of their last four games and they have scored at least 24 points in four of their last five. Las Vegas has dropped five games in a row and they have just two wins on the season. The Raiders have been brutal on the offensive side of the football, scoring 16 points or fewer in four of their last five. The offensive line for the Chargers is a concern against Crosby, but I just have zero faith in the Las Vegas offense to keep this game close. Take the Chargers to cover at home.
