For all you trenders and stat followers out there, don't let these numbers sway you away from SD @ +1.....
"Palmer has faced the Chargers five times in his career, and he's put up some stunning stats, starting with a 122.5 passer rating and a touchdown to interception ratio of 13 to 3. He has completed 116 of 166 passes – 69.9 percent – for 1,739 yards and has averaged 347.8 passing yards per game against San Diego.
Last year as a Raider, Palmer faced the Chargers twice and completed a combined 42 of 63 passes for 716 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions. Palmer threw for 417 yards, the third highest total in franchise history, in the season-finale against San Diego, connecting on a career-high tying 78-yard pass to Denarius Moore and completing nine passes to Darrius Heyward-Bey"

Left tackle Gaither is expected to not play - he was the sole reason why the chargers improved last season when KC cut him. Rivers will be running for his life.

Look at the chargers record last season before Gaither joined, then look at it after - he allowed rivers another .5 seconds to throw, making all the difference in the world for rivers to have success.

Chargers & Raiders combined for nearly 1,000 total yards in a wild game at the Coliseum to close out last season, and with both still plenty of question marks on the defensive end ~~ particularly in the secondary~~ a reprisal would hardly be surprising SBR members.That would seem to foretell well for the historically slow-starting Chargers,as Rivers gives San Diego an advantage over the up-and-down Palmer at the quarterback position. Where the Chargers will be minus their best weapon in Mathews and Oakland sports a definite difference-maker in McFadden.The Raiders seem to be in better shape on the offensive line in regards to protection.The Chargers offensive line will be without starting left tackle Jared Gaither in this game due to injury.Unfortunately or rather inevitably,Gaither suffered an injury setback which means undrafted rookie Mike Harris will start the game at left tackle. On the opposite side of the ball,the Raiders have arguably the best front four in football with Richard Seymour,Tommy Kelly,Matt Shaughnessy and Lamarr Houston.The Raiders d-line will be solid vs the run and will also cause problems for Rivers in the passing game.The deciding factor could come at running back McFadden he's primed for a big performance[ lights & action ]with the home town crowd on the Monday late night football show.McFadden racked up 614 yards on the ground through the first seven games last season before being sidelined and added another 154 yards on 19 catches. While he has been injury-prone so far in his career, he is full go heading into 2012 and has enjoyed success against AFC West foes in the past. He averages 5.5 yards per carry against teams in his division and has a favorable matchup for Week 1. McFadden did not face San Diego last season but should be considered as a solid option.The Raiders should be able to make Rivers uncomfortable enough in the pocket to back Allen's debut a potentially successful one.
My Prediction: Raiders-1 [ Raiders 30, Chargers 24 ]
