San Diego Chargers
San Diego Chargers The San Diego Chargers are looking to keep their slim playoff hopes alive tonight as the play host to AFC West Division rival Oakland. Odds makers are calling the Chargers double digit home favorites in tonight's game on the NFL Network. NFL betting lines have San Diego at -10 with the total sitting at 42.5.

The Chargers are possibly the league most disappointing team. At 4-8, they likely need to win their final four games to have any shot of making the post-season. San Diego is three games behind the division-leading Broncos with just four games to play, however they remain optimistic.

"They don't call the season off when you're going bad or when the odds are stacked against you that you won't be playing in January," San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers said. "So we've got to go play a game. If you've got any
pride or anything about you, you'll prepare and go play."

San Diego enters this matchup on a three-game losing streak. The Chargers have not dropped four straight since an 0-5 start in 2003.

The Raiders, at 3-9, are out of the playoff hunt and have lost 10 in a row against the Chargers. Oakland's glory days are gone. They must win out to avoid becoming just the third team in NFL history to suffer 10 or more losses in six consecutive seasons. The Raiders have to be looking for something positive to take out of this season and move forward with the future of the franchise.

"Every time we win a game right now is very important for us," interim coach Tom Cable said. "For us to go down to San Diego and winning would be huge."

San Diego will likely not make a playoff run, but they will take care of the Raiders tonight. Take the Chargers and give the 10 points.
