3 Unit Play. Take Under 46.5 in San Diego Chargers @ Oakland Raiders
San Diego
The Chargers have underperformed the last couple of years, but somehow Norv Turner was able to keep his job. San Diego has seen their defense fall apart over this time but they made a commitment to this side of the football with their first three draft picks being on the defensive side of the football. The Chargers have gone under the posted total in 7 of their last 10 games against AFC West teams.
Oakland
The Raiders had the playoffs well within sight before falling apart at the end of last season and because of that they have a new coach in Dennis Allen. This is the first defensive-minded coach that the Raiders have hired in decades, and I expect him to make an effort to fix this side of the football. A lot of fixing is needed, but it is also important that the offense did not give the Chargers a short field in this game by turning over the football.
Final Comment
Since this is a divisional game it is very important for both teams since each has visions of winning this division. Expect a game played close to the vest and we will not worry about who wins this game and just collect with the under against this inflated total.
