LOS ANGELES -- The Raiders (6-8) don’t have much left to play for. This season went too far south during a four-game losing streak that dropped them from 6-4 to below .500, with a 180-degree turn required to re-establish that plateau.
They need 10 games to go right to make the playoffs, including a victory on Sunday against the AFC West rival Los Angeles Chargers.
That won’t be easy. The Raiders are underdogs for Sunday's contest at Dignity Health Sports Park, which will, in essence, be a home game dominated by fans in silver and black.
