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.
