Raiders pk 4.4* NFL POD; 3TEAM 10PT TEASER - Raiders +10, Ravens +3, OAK/SD O37 2.2*
First of all the oddsmakers are always really sharp on the lines on Mondays which is why you'll see me lay a bunch of teasers out there much like I did last year. I like the Ravens in the spot at home and the over in the OAK/SD game to go along with our POD on the Raiders.

I love the Raiders here this is a team that's still in a much better spot than the Chargers are. The Chargers could not score a TD on the road in the preseason and Phillip Rivers did not look any better than his 20 interceptions last year as he had 1 TD and 4 interceptions this pre season. Pre season means nothing but you would have like to have seen something more from Rivers. Oakland meanwhile is coming off a 7-4 season before dropping 4 of 5 to finish the season including their week 17 home game against the Chargers that cost them the division.

The Raiders had won 3 straight over the Chargers before that game and I think they'll win this game. Mainly because Carson Palmer is now familiar with his receivers and the offense and Darren McFadden looks like he's 100%. At least the Raiders have a balanced offense. The Chargers are going to have to pass a lot in this game which could mean big issues and turnovers considering they'll likely be without LT Jared Gaither and two of their other starting OL's are banged up, but probable. Ryan Mathews is also doubtful and their RB depth is suspect. I think the Chargers will put up points because of the passing but it will lead to the Raiders tiring out the Chargers defense. The Chargers were last in the league in 3rd down defense a year ago and 20th vs. the run. Look for Darren McFadden to have a huge game as the Raiders are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 vs. the AFC West.
