NFL Betting: San Diego Chargers vs Oakland Raiders.The final week of the NFL season is upon us. Some games mean a lot and some don’t. The San Diego Chargers visit to the Oakland Raiders is a game that definitely means something to one team and it isn’t the Chargers.
The Oak land Raiders come into the game tied for first in the meek AFC West with an 8-7 record, the same as the Denver Broncos. The teams split their two games this year, so a tie will result in the NFL tie breaker system kicking in and dictating that the Broncos would win if both teams finish 9-7.

The Raiders come into this game having righted their season with an overtime victory over the Chiefs in week 16 in Kansas City. The team is still missing uber running back Darren McFadden, but Michael Bush has filled in nicely for him in developing a power running attack. This has allowed the offense to start showing a serious deep threat through play action pass.
The San Diego Chargers come into the game as a team in turmoil. They’ve been eliminated from the playoff race already and just suffered a humiliating blow out loss in Detroit. Rumors abound that head coach Norv Turner will be fired with General Manager AJ Smith potentially following him as well.
