Chargers at Raiders Pre-Game Discussion (Week 18)

[AZBolt]

I see Pitts losing to Cinn. Chargers are #5 and trounce that Texan team. Chiefs vs Chargers in the divisional round at Arrowhead. This will be a dog-fight. Hope all the key players for both teams are healthy. Chiefs maybe favored by 2? This could be a lengendary game.

Note: I hope Charger fans start giving up the Ref narrative. You guys have proven you can beat KC. No excuses. The future is YOURS. ENJOY a True RIVALRY.

Note: Going forward the Chargers should take over the AFC West. You had a great draft. You have a ton of cap space. You have plenty of draft picks with a proven GM and Head Coach. You have an Elite QB.
Chiefs have an elite QB, great GM and Head Coach. Very little cap space. Fewer draft picks. Aging stars on huge contracts. Lots of key free agents and little money to sign them. Rashee Rice facing suspension after recovering from injury next season. Likely a wild card team for a few seasons. Must retool.

If it came down to it, I’d much rather play the Broncos than the Bengals in the playoffs….. Burrow is simply much better than Nix.

I do share your optimism for next year, we would improve greatly by just filling the holes In Center and RG……Salyer and Pip would be fair backups….another LB and DL, and of course, more depth

I'm heading to the Vegas for the game. Got some great club seats. Hoping it's a better experience than going to Oakland. Be my first trip back to Vegas in over 18 years

I have been to two of the Charger-Raider games in Vegas ('21 and '22, as well as two Utah Pac 12 Championship games) and the vibe there is great. There will be so many Charger fans there, the most Bolt fans I have ever seen at a road game were at '21 Sunday night game. You will have a blast, Allegiant is an awesome stadium, with a great fan experience. You have your idiot shitheads for sure, but never had any issues with anyone there. Head to Mandalay Bay before hand and just walk the bridge from there over to the stadium, really fun atmosphere. Again, I guarantee there will be a lot of Charger fans there...you will have a blast.

Thanks for the info. Whenever I went to Oakland, I never wore any Chargers gear as I didn't want any trouble. What's funny is every game I've been to up there we won! I'm actually staying at Mandalay Bay so thanks for the tip!

Chiefs have a bye. I don't think they sit Mahomes or other starters. Would be 3 weeks between games. Reid even plays Mahomes in the pre season for a few series

KC plays at Denver wk 18. Time and date TBD.+. Their bye was wk 6. They don't play wildcard week. I was wondering about resting players vs Denver.
They can workout all they want but no one else will be crashing into Homie. I'd do it with Herbert and others in that position.

Steelers - Bengals on Saturday night,

Chargers -Raiders on Sunday afternoon.

I lived in Oakland and went to several Chargers games there, never had a single issue.

KC was bad, same with Atlanta.

Awesome that Baltimore is the early game so Pitt knows if they lost the division but they'll not rest anyone since the 5 & 6 seed are still in play.

Anyone going to the game? I'll be there

[Bolts&noles]

What about seeding and who plays on Saturday and Sunday in the playoffs?
