    Week 18 Bolts @ Raiders Final - Pre Game Discussion

    The Chargers open as 1.5 pt favorites in Las Vegas next week, a game that I am guessing will be moved into a prime time slot, when there is only one game being played, either on Saturday or Sunday night. The winner is in the playoffs. The loser goes home.

    I watched the Raiders at the Colts, the Raiders won not because they played particularly well, but because the Colts' offense was pretty inept, especially in the passing game. The Raiders could only score 17 points on the Broncos in Las Vegas last week, and the week before that it took a minor miracle for them to barely edge out the COVID-ravaged Browns with Nick Mullens at QB. The Raiders have won three straight, by an average of the three points. Their defense is not as good as the Bronco's defense the Chargers just faced today, and I think they can be had deep, and they aren't particularly good at stopping the run.

    The Chargers are undefeated in Allegiant Stadium and Herbert is 2-1 against the Raiders, winning two straight. I like the Chargers chances in this game.

    Playoffs really started today thanks with a lot of help from the Titans and Rams

    Good solid win - need another win next week. Win and you get to 10 wins and the playoffs

        Seriously, like a Charger vs. Raider game isn’t big enough? The winner goes to the playoffs! My head is about to explode with anticipation!

            The line has moved in the 30 mins since I started this thread. The Chargers are now 2.5 pt favorites.

              Titans and rams came through. Rams barely did. That was closer than I thought it would be

                  I can't think of a Chargers-Raiders game outside of the playoffs as important in the last game of the season. This game will probably be flexed into Sunday Night.

                      I hope Bradley stubbornly continues using a single high look like he did against the Chiefs. That’s a road to more deep balls if the protection holds up.

                        No, because no other pair of teams have the playoffs as the prize. NBC will want this game.
