huge game tonight. with a win, the raiders are sitting pretty at 5-4 with upcoming games against the jets and bengals (jets at home, bengals on the road). with a loss, they fall behind the chargers and become tied with ans/jaguars group.
plus its the last night/primetime game in oakland, so i'm sure fans will be hyped.
biggest question is our OL health. trent brown has posted on social media implying he's good to go. if rodney hudson plays, too, i like our chances. the backup center was pretty bad last week both with snapping issues and just blocking in general. if we can control the clock like we did against the lions (before ing around sitting on the lead in the 4th), we should be able to deal with the chargers. a good run game would neutralize their edge rushers just like we were able to handle the broncos and bears.
but if possessions are flying back and forth, i like the chargers chances with their passing game, and bosa/ingram probably get to carr on more than one occasion in that scenario. chargers have some decent players in the secondary even with derwin james being out, but their weakness is right up the middle.
