Raiders +3 -118
The reason for this anomaly is the "Raider Nation". The homer factor is huge in this play. I don't believe there is a handicapper in the World that thinks the Raiders will cover, let alone win outright (raiders at +126 on the money line) so there is a premium VALUE to bet the spread on this game taking the Chargers, laying the points and TAKING the juice, rather than paying it.
Just my humble opinion,
