So hard to put faith into the Raiders when they are playing the Chargers, or, for that matter, any AFC West opponent.
Look at these stats, all against the spread for the past three years:
Raiders versus conference foes: 6-17
Raiders versus division foes: 2-10
Raiders as an underdog: 6-15
Raiders as an underdog of 3 pts or less: 0-3
Raiders in all lined games: 11-20
It should be noted that San Diego is 12-3 ATS in their last 15 road games and is on a nice run of 15-8 ATS against conference opponents.
Aaron Brooks at QB for Oakland should achieve the same results as his tenure at New Orleans, that being run out of town.
The Chargers have beat the Raiders five straight and covered eight of the past nine. After tonight, it will be nine out of the past ten.
