Charger vs Raiders preview


On Sunday November 1st the Chargers renew their heated rivalry with the hated Oakland Raiders.  In their season opener the Raiders fell to the Charger 24-20.  Both teams played tough physical football, and the game wasn't decided until the very end.  This game saw the Chargers escape with a win, and lose five players to injury.  Look for San Diego's defense to apply more pressure to one of the worst quarterbacks in the league JaMarcus Russell.  Oakland has a platoon of tough running backs, that need to be accounted for at all times. Raiders running backs Justin Fargas and Michael Bush will split those duties.  I think  offensively the Chargers need to put together a game plan to get their running backs Darren Sproles and Ladanian Tomlinson more involved.  Rushing on Oakland's 30th ranked defense should be easy, but it all comes down to execution from the offensive line. I predict the Chargers will have what it takes to beat this team, besides every other team has.  Final Score: Bolts 35  Raiders 10
