If the Raiders can beat the Chargers, they put themselves in a great spot to win the AFC West division, or make the playoffs as a wild card team.
However, for the Chargers, this game is all about finishing a season with pride. They have won three of their last four games, but it just will not be enough to make the postseason.

Betting Line: According to 5Dimes, the Raiders are a three point favorite. You should take the Raiders since Oakland will be playing for a playoff spot while the Chargers will be playing for nothing.
Plus the Raiders have the sixth best rushing game in the NFL, which will tear apart a Chargers defense that ranks 20th in the NFL.
What's At Stake
With a win for the Raiders, they put themselves in an excellent spot to make the post season for the first time since 2002. However, a loss will end the Raiders season, that had so much hope after starting 4-3 this year.
