The Raiders host the Los Angeles Chargers for one final time in Oakland on Thursday night at the Coliseum, with playoff aspirations on the line. With the Raiders at 4-4 and the Bolts at 4-5, the loser of this game may well be entirely eliminated from playoff contention.
After firing former OC Ken Wisenhunt, the Chargers offense has looked stronger, culminating in a 26-11 drubbing of the Green Bay Packers last week.
Despite the Raiders being the home team and having the superior record, Los Angeles is favored coming off a two-game winning streak.
