The final week of pro football season is upon us. Some competitions mean a great deal and some do not. The San diego chargers visit to the Raiders is a game that certainly means something to one team and it is not the San Diego Chargers.

The Raiders come into the game evened up for 1st in the weak AFC West with an 8-7 record, the same as the Denver broncos. A tie will cause the nfl tie breaker process kicking in and dictating that the Broncos would win if both squads finish 9-7, as the squads split their 2 competitions this year. Obviously, both need to get their 1st, which means the Oakland Raiders have to center on the San Diego Chargers.

The Oakland Raiders come into this game having righted their season with an ot victory over the Chiefs in week 16 in Kansas City. Michael Bush has filled in nicely in developing a power running attack as the team continues to be absent ultra running back Darren McFadden. This has permitted the offense to start showing a considerable deep threat through play action pass.

The San diego chargers enter into the game as a team in chaos. They have been eliminated from the playoff contest already and just suffered a embarrassing blow out loss in Detroit. Gossip are plentiful that head coach Norv Turner will be dismissed with General Manager AJ Smith possibly following him also. Their rivalry with the Oakland Raiders is the only reason the San Diego Chargers need to play hard in this game. That might not be enough given the turmoil in the organization.

The Oakland Raiders are preferred by 3 points in this game, which is rather odd since they’ve got so much to play for and are playing at home. Nonetheless of what the odds makers are saying, expect to take the Oakland Raiders to take this game comfortably.
