Chargers (2-2) @ Raiders (1-3) — San Diego won last three series games by 12-8-3 points; they’ve won eight of last nine visits here, with only loss in ’10. Three of Bolts’ four games were won by exactly three points; Rivers seems rejuvenated (25-50 on 3rd down, only two INTs), averaging 8.6/6.7/8.2 yards/pass attempt in last three games. Flynn was disappointing (18-31/217, two turnovers) in first Oakland start; Raiders are 3-7-1 in last 11 games as a home underdog- they’ve had only 13 plays of 20+ yards in first four games. Chargers scored 28+ points in three of four games, and lost fourth game in last minute in Nashville- they’re 7-12 in last 19 games as a road favorite. Divisional home dogs are 4-2 vs spread this season. Three of four Charger games went over total; three of four Oakland games stayed under. Game has been pushed back to 11:30 ET Sunday night because of time needed to switch from baseball configuration to football.
Texans (2-2) @ 49ers (2-2) — Schaub has thrown pick-6 in three straight games, including horrific one last week in last 3:00 while Houston was in Seattle territory nursing 20-13 lead; brutal loss for Texans, who led 20-3 at half and have struggled beating the better teams. Houston has only two TDs on 24 drives in last two games; they had 6-0 lead at Baltimore in Week 3 before giving up TDs on offense/special teams in 90-second span, so they’ve been beating themselves. 49ers scored 34-35 points in two wins, 3-7 in two losses; they turned ball over seven times (-6) in two losses. Niners are 12-4-1 as home favorites under Harbaugh, 1-1 this year. NFC West non-divisional favorites are 4-1 vs spread; AFC South teams are 3-8 outside the division, 2-4 on road, 2-4 as underdogs. Home side won only two games in series, with both games decided by FG. Non-divisional home favorites of 7+ points are 7-4 vs spread. Three of four Houston games went over the total.

Texans at 49ers
As of early this morning most spots were listing San Francisco (2-2 straight up, 2-2 against the spread) as a six-point favorite with a total of 42.5. The Texans are available on the money line for a +230 return (risk $100 to win $230). For first-half bets, the 49ers are favored by 3.5 with a total of 21.
Houston (2-2 SU, 0-4 ATS) is looking to bounce back from a gut-wrenching home loss to Seattle. The Texans led 20-3 at halftime and 20-6 midway through the fourth quarter. After a Marshawn Lynch touchdown run made it 20-13, Gary Kubiak’s team was driving with less than three minutes remaining. However, Richard Sherman intercepted an across-the-field pass and returned it 58 yards for a TD. In overtime, Steven Hauschka buried a 45-yard field goal to lift the Seahawks to a 23-20 triumph as one-point road favorites.
Schaub threw for 255 yards and two touchdowns against Seattle, but two interceptions were costly. Arian Foster ran for 102 yards in the losing effort, while Andre Johnson had nine receptions for 110 yards.
For the season, Schaub has an 8/6 TD-INT ratio. Johnson has 34 catches for 368 yards but has yet to score a touchdown. Foster has 292 rushing yards and one TD, but he’s averaging a mere 3.8 yards per carry. Meanwhile, back-up RB Ben Tate has 228 rushing yards and a 6.7 YPC average.
Houston LB Brian Cushing leads the team in tackles with 25. He also has a pick-six, 1.5 sacks and one forced fumble. DE J.J. Watt has 3.5 sacks and is second on the team with 17 tackles.
After dropping back-to-back games in blowout fashion, San Francisco went into St. Louis last Thursday in dire need of a victory. Without Pro-Bowl LB Patrick Willis and pass-rushing specialist Aldon Smith (rehab), Jim Harbaugh’s team captured a 35-11 victory as a three-point road favorite. Frank Gore rushed for 153 yards and one TD, while Colin Kaepernick threw a pair of TD passes without an interception.
Willis remains ‘questionable’ with a groin injury and starting CB Nnamdi Asomugha is also a question mark due to a sprained. Like Willis, Asomugha did not play against the Rams. Smith will be out at least three more games. On the bright side, starting OT Joe Staley is ‘probable’ after hurting his knee at St. Louis.
Kaepernick struggled mightily in consecutive losses at Seattle (29-3) and vs. Indianapolis (27-7) when he was intercepted four times and the 49ers scored only 10 combined points. The Nevada product has a 5/4 TD-INT ratio for the season. Kaepernick has yet to rush for a score. He has a 15/7 career TD-INT ratio.
San Francisco ranks third in the NFL in total defense and pass defense. However, the 49ers are just 18th in scoring defense, allowing 23.8 points per game.
Houston is the NFL’s top-ranked defense in terms of total yards allowed and also is tops in pass defense. But it somehow is just 23rd in scoring defense, giving up 26.2 PPG. In similar fashion. the Texans are fifth in total offense, seventh in rushing yards and ninth in passing. Nevertheless, they are only 19th in scoring offense with a 22.5 PPG average. --The 'over' is 3-1 for Houston with its games playing to the following combined point totals: 59, 54, 39 and 43.
Totals have been a wash for San Francisco both overall (2-2) and in its home games (1-1).
Kickoff is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. Eastern on NBC.
Chargers at Raiders
This game has been moved to an 11:35 p.m. Eastern kick since the A’s host a playoff game on Saturday night. NFL Network will have the telecast.
As of early this morning, most books had the Chargers favored by five with a total of 45. Gamblers can back the Raiders to win outright for a +180 return (risk $100 to win $180). For first-half wagers, San Diego is a three-point ‘chalk’ with a total of 22.
San Diego (2-2 SU, 3-0-1 ATS) bounced back from a tough loss at Tennessee to knock off Dallas 30-21 last week as a one-point home underdog. The 51 combined points slipped ‘over’ the 47-point total. Philip Rivers produced another stellar performance, completing 35-of-42 passes for 401 yards and three touchdowns. Antonio Gates hauled in 10 receptions for 136 yards and one TD, while Danny Woodhead made a pair of TD grabs.
Rivers has been sensational this season, completing 73.9 percent of his throws for 1,199 yards with an 11/2 touchdown-to-interception ratio. Gates has also returned to All-Pro form with a team-high 25 catches for 262 yards and two TDs. Eddie Royal is enjoying a breakout campaign with 15 receptions for 190 yards and five TDs. Danny Woodhead has been a key addition with the way he can catch the ball out of the backfield. Woodhead is averaging 4.7 yards per carry and has 22 catches for 162 yards and two TDs.
Oakland (1-3 SU, 2-1-1 ATS) has dropped back-to-back games since beating Jacksonville 19-9 in Week 2. The Raiders let a 14-0 first-quarter advantage get away in last week’s 24-14 loss to Washington as 3.5-point home underdogs. With Terrelle Pryor sidelined (concussion), Matt Flynn struggled and threw a crucial pick-six that completely altered the momentum of the game. Flynn has subsequently been demoted to third-string. Pryor returns and will start, while undrafted rookie Matt McGloin will be the No. 2 QB.
Oakland RB Darrren McFadden suffered a hamstring injury against the Redskins and is listed as ‘doubtful.’ McFadden has run for 215 yards and two touchdowns, averaging 4.1 yards per carry.
Pryor played surprisingly well in starting the Raiders’ first three games. He completed 65.4 percent of his throws for 624 yards with a 2/2 TD-INT ratio. The athletic Pryor has also rushed for 198 yards with a 7.6 YPC average. --San Diego has beaten Oakland in the last three head-to-head meetings, going 2-1 ATS.
The ‘over’ is 3-1 overall for the Chargers, 1-1 in their road games.
The ‘under’ is 3-1 overall for Oakland, 2-0 in its home games.
