2017 Season NFL Football Past Picks

The Los Angeles Chargers have an outside chance to make the playoffs, and the Raiders will try and spoil it for them as they look to avenge a tough, 17-16, loss in the first meeting. The last two meetings have stayed UNDER by a combined 30 points, and six of the last nine meetings have gone UNDER. Oakland comes off a 19-10 loss at Philadelphia, and it followed a controversial loss to Dallas which included some questionable calls by the officials. The road team has covered six times in a row, and the underdog is a whopping 15-2 ATS the last 17 meetings. The Chargers are 8-20 ATS their last 28 home games and 7-15 ATS after a win dating to the last few seasons. Also, the Chargers are 1-7 ATS their last eight December games. Philip Rivers was only 22 of 40 for 290 yards against the Jets, and the Chargers gained only 3.0 yards per rush in a 14-7 win. Oakland can salvage something from its season with a win, and the Chargers are laying more than a touchdown here. Grab the points with the Raiders and also take the UNDER.
