The Chargers (9-7) were riding a high in the first five weeks of the season when they started 4-1. Much of the preseason hype surrounding quarterback Justin Herbert was being justified through that hot start as the reigning offensive rookie of the year threw 13 touchdown passes and just three interceptions to start the year. That would marked Herbert and the Chargers’ best stretch of the season. Herbert enters this Sunday night with 14 interceptions on the year, only four quarterbacks have thrown more picks this season.
Since week five, L.A. has a sub .500 record at 5-6, but they were able to come away with a convincing 34-13 win over the Broncos last week to stay in the playoff hunt. Herbert completed 22-of-his-31 passes for 237 yards and two touchdowns in the win.
The Raiders (9-7) can make their first playoff appearance since 2016 with a win Sunday night. Quarterback Derek Carr led the Raiders to the playoffs that year but was unable to play in the postseason after suffering a fractured fibula in a week 15. He had to watch as his team lose in the first round to the Texans.
This season, through a lot of adversity Carr was able to post the second highest completion percentage of his career (69.2%) and throw for a career high 4,618 yards. Only, Herbert, Matthew Stafford and Tom Brady have thrown for more yards this season. Third-year wide receiver Hunter Renfrow was able to help Carr establish those numbers, by catching a career high 99 passes and racking up 1,025 yards.
The Chargers are currently 3-point favorites against the Raiders. The over/under is 48.5 points.
