San Diego Chargers vs. Oakland Raiders

The San Diego Chargers look to continue their winning streak when they visit division rival Oakland Raiders at O.co Coliseum in Oakland. The Raiders meanwhile are hoping to spoil the show for Philip Rivers and company. The Chargers may be the prohibitive favorite in this one, but anything can happen when old foes clash on the underdog’s turf, so let’s take a deeper look to make sure we’re not missing anything before crowning the Chargers victors before kickoff.

Keys to Victory

The San Diego Chargers must avoid turnovers, especially in the hostile Oakland environment. Giving this crowd anything to feed on could be disastrous for the favorites. Keep the ball, limit mistakes and the Raiders will have to do that much more work to keep up. For the Raiders, defensive execution will be key. Branden Oliver will likely see more carries his performance against the Jets, so the Raiders need to make the Chargers one-dimensional on offense.

Prediction

We can analyze the possibility of an upset from many angles and say the Raiders have a chance, and of course they do because it’s the NFL and anything can happen, but the Chargers are one of the hottest teams in the NFL with great balance and leadership and the Raiders are, well, the Raiders.

Final Score: San Diego 31 Oakland 14
