Week 16: San Diego Chargers (2014 Record: 9-7)
San Diego’s MO for the last few years has been to start slow and then make a furious rally to get themselves in a playoff position. 2015’s San Diego team isn’t going to have that sort of gas in the tank. They won’t be making a late run this season, and by week 16, will likely simply be playing out the string.
It will be a competitive game on Christmas Eve, but the simple fact that the Raiders will have something to play for, and the Chargers likely won’t, will give them the extra motivation needed to secure another important win.
Prediction: WIN
Raiders 35; Chargers 20
Record: 10-5
Next: Week Seventeen: Kansas City Chiefs
