Chargers vs. Raiders Prediction and Odds for NFL Week 13 (Chargers Are Most Overrated Team in NFL)
The Los Angeles Chargers will take on the Las Vegas Raiders in an AFC West rematch of their Week 1 game.
The Chargers took home the 24-19 victory in that contest and will look to complete the series sweep to help boost their chances of making the AFC playoffs. As of right now, they're sitting two spots outside of the postseason in the No. 9 seed, but the oddsmakers at FanDuel are giving them favorable -178 odds to still make it in.
A win this week would go a long way in achieving that.
Let's take a look at the odds for this weekend's showdown.

Chargers vs. Raiders Prediction and Pick
This might be a hot take, but the Los Angeles Chargers are a bad football team. Heading into Week 13, they rank 19th in net yards per play.
The main reason for that is their defense is absolutely terrible, ranking 30th in opponent yards per play. They'll have their work cut out for them this week when they take on a Raiders offense that has moved all the way up to fifth in the league in yards per play.
Josh Jacobs has proved to be a force for Las Vehas, and the Raiders are averaging 5.2 yards per carry on the ground this year. Now, they get to face the league's worst run defense that's allowing 5.4 yards per rush. That's a recipe for disaster for Los Angeles.
Forget the points, give me the Raiders to win this game outright. I have zero faith in Los Angeles to be able to do anything to stop the Las Vegas offense.
