Chargers at Raiders for TNF: Preview and Betting Odds

Last Updated on December 12, 2023 1:26 pm by Erwin Noguera

In the blink of an eye, the 2023/24 NFL season is reaching its Week 15, which means there are very few games left in the regular season.

That undoubtedly leaves many teams with few options to fulfill their goal of qualifying for the postseason. However, as a result, the emotions and intensity increase since now many franchises will be playing for their lives in every game, as an important victory could put them in the playoff party.

Several teams can give a pleasant surprise by qualifying for the postseason. However, we also have the favorites stepping up, like the Eagles, 49ers, and even the Cowboys, who are playing very well this season.

Yet, others like the Raiders and the Chargers will try to give their all in this final stretch to look for a miracle that will qualify them for the postseason. Precisely, this pair of teams face each other in this Week 15 as part of the Thursday Night Football of the round.

When: 

Thursday, December 14, 08:15 PM ET at Allegiant Stadium

Moneyline odds:

Raiders -155 

Chargers +135

Why Bet on the Raiders?

The Raiders’ balance to date is five wins and eight losses, which indicates that they are not a very good team this season, and that is why they have fallen to the last place in the AFC West standings.

However, of the team’s five wins, we have to mention that 4 of them have been playing at Allegiant Stadium. So, they may come with some confidence to face this Week 15 TNF game against the Chargers.

Las Vegas comes from suffering a loss at home against the Minnesota Vikings with a pretty strange score, 0-3. In addition, in this game, the Vikings only scored in the final minutes of the last quarter.

Why Bet on the Chargers?

On the other hand, the Chargers are not superior to their opponent either; they are finishing the season far from qualifying for the postseason and are third in the AFC West. They have a 5-8 record, just like the Raiders, and have lost five times playing at home, being much better on the road.

The Chargers have had many defensive problems so far this season, and that has been their Achilles heel. Now, to dream of qualifying for the postseason, the team must leave everything and hope that other results favor them.
