Raiders vs. Chargers Free Pick
San Diego, CA (TheSpread) – Two teams heading in different directions will square off this Sunday as the San Diego Chargers host AFC West Division rival the Oakland Raiders at 4:05PM ET.
According to NFL Week 13 odds and oddsmakers from online sports book Sportsbook.com, the Chargers are 13-point favorites over the Raiders on Sunday. The over/under total for this game is currently 45 points.
The Raiders dropped to 5-6 with their loss to the Dolphins last Sunday, although they’re still 6-5 against the spread according to latest NFL trends. They’re just 1-4 on the road this season but have covered in three of those five games.
The Chargers improved to 6-5 after crushing the Colts on Sunday night and are also 6-5 against the spread. They’re 4-1 at home this season and have covered in four of their five games at Qualcomm Stadium.
2010 NFL WEEK 13 FREE PICK:
On cue, the Chargers are peaking at the right time. They’ve been impressive over the last couple of weeks, especially last Sunday night in Indianapolis where they harassed Peyton Manning and the Colts. Philip Rivers is playing at a MVP-like level and if he ever gets a healthy Antonio Gates back, he’ll be even more dangerous. The Bolts need to stay healthy to really do some damage down the stretch, but they should be fine this Sunday against Oakland. The Raiders are just 2-5 against the spread in their last seven trips to San Diego and just 4-11 against the number in their last 15 games against the Chargers overall. The highly inconsistent Jason Campbell will make another start because Bruce Gradkowski was placed on injured reserve. If Manning didn’t fair well against this red-hot San Diego defense, we doubt Campbell will have much luck. Our pick is the Chargers -13.
