Chargers open as a 5 pt favorite over the Raiders

The Raiders are coming off a bye week and probably pretty healthy while we are struggling to put up a team of real NFL players because of injury.
I don't want to think of any more injuries. I'll have to bypass the over/under on that. Nauseating.
Turnovers - I'll go with one (Chargers).
Gordon needs to find another gear for him to be effective running the ball for us. I'm speaking of in his initial acceleration from the backfield. He needs more power. He can't escape first tacklers very well. I'm very unimpressed by him in that regard. He's playing much closer to a 4th or 5th round running back IMO - if that. There's no way I'll be predicting a TD for him. A fumble? Yes, he could do that alright. I'm sorry FLEET. It's no reflection on you. I just don't like what he's shown so far overall.
Too many injuries to say we'll win by more than a FG. I would take Oakland and the 5 points.Last edited by Millionaire Wussy; 10-18-2015, 06:39 PM.For Stinky-Jon-Wizzleteats....

He looks better when they run out of the pistol and he gets a running start.
IMO they're just using him incorrectly.

I wish they would try some power running with him. Watch his Wisconsin highlights.
