Game of the week Chargers (-6) at Raiders

The Chargers are the best 2-2 team in the National Football League. It’s a bold statement, but the ‘Bolts are producing statistics that prove the point.

The team’s pass defense is 4th best (155.3/gm) and rush dee’ 7th best (80.3/gm).
Eight hours up the California coast you will find the antithesis of the Chargers.
The Raiders have scored 76 points on the season and given up 107.
With how consistently lock down the Chargers’ defense has played to date, the Raiders’ 20th ranked pass offense and rushing attack (that may be without Darren McFadden) show little signs of keeping up in this ball game.
