Chargers at Raiders
Pick: Chargers -9
It’s not hard to identify the pattern in recent meetings between old AFL rivals Oakland and San Diego, who do battle again Monday night at the Coliseum. The Chargers have been dominant, winning the last 12 meetings and covering 11 of those, as well as covering 7 straight visits to the East Bay.
Expect more of the same Monday, with Norv Turner going to great lengths in the preseason to make sure that the Bolts hit the ground running after some slow regular-season starts the past few seasons. Meanwhile, the Raiders appear to be stuck in quicksand once more, with QB JaMarcus Russeell still very much a work in progress, the defense still inept vs. the run, and distractions on the sidelines caused by HC Tom Cable's reported scuffle with assistant Randy Hanson in August. Moreover, Oakland stands a woeful 11-30 vs. the line its last 41 as host! 'Nuff said! Play Chargers
