Divisional rematches are always fun and even better when there’s a playoff spot on the line. These two teams faced each other in Week 4, where the Chargers navigated themselves to a 28-14 win. Since then, Los Angeles has only improved in many areas on the field. Not only are they healthier, but they have started to get things going in the right direction on defense.
QB Justin Herbert improves every week and has a great trio of receivers in Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, and Jalen Guyton. RB Austin Ekeler is healthy and full systems go for Week 18. The Chargers are a squad that many of the top teams in the AFC would hope to avoid on Wild Card Weekend, considering their ability to turn it on at a moment’s notice. The lows can be bad, but the highs are exhilarating.

The Raiders’ season has been a rollercoaster of emotions. A lot has happened, from the sudden and surprising termination of head coach Jon Gruden to the multiple incidents of questionable off-field behavior from players.
Nevertheless, we’re in Week 18 talking about if the Raiders can make the playoffs. The players on this team need to be applauded for continuing through when everything around the organization seemed to be collapsing.

QB Derek Carr has performed well this year and played his team into five walk-off wins to put the Raiders in this position. Carr, however, did not play well in the first matchup against the Chargers, and he will need to improve to help Las Vegas’ surprising run.
This will be a very close and competitive game against two teams desperately wanting a shot at the Lombardi Trophy. With that said, the Raiders will fall short as Herbert has this offense firing on all cylinders.
