NFL Pick Of The Day – Raiders @ Chargers – Who Covers The Spread
Why would anyone care about tonight’s NFL Network matchup between the Oakland Raiders and the San Diego Chargers? Easy, we are all sick, degenerate gamblers and we will bet on anything. Having said that, read below to see FiveStarPick.com’s preview of tonight’s game.
Oakland (3-9 straight up, 5-7 against the spread) and San Diego (4-8 SU, 4-7 ATS) have posted less than stellar numbers this year. The Raiders are 1-4 ATS when listed as a road underdog, while the Chargers are 2-4 ATS as a home favorite. Las Vegas sports books have listed San Diego as a 9-point home favorite over Oakland, with the total set at 43.
Oakland lost at home last week to Kansas City as a 3-point home favorite, 20-13 and the combined 33 points cashed the under for bettors for the fifth consecutive game. The Raiders just can’t seem to score. Oakland trailed Kansas City in first downs (17-14), rushing yards (145-139), passing yards (156-132), turnovers forced (2-1) and time of possession (35:11-24:49). QB JaMarcus Russell was 10-28 for 132 yards, while Justin Fargas rushed for 82 yards and a TD on 18 carries.
San Diego hasn’t been much better. They have now dropped 3 games in a row SU and consecutive outings ATS after losing to Atlanta at home last weekend, 22-16. The Chargers are now 1-5 SU and ATS their last six games. The combined 38 points cashed the Under for bettors once again helping the Under improve to 7-1 in their last eight outings.
The Chargers have dominated Oakland the past few seasons, going 9-0 SU and 8-1 ATS.
So who covers the spread in today’s game? This game is way too close to call. But why not let FiveStarPick.com help you make money on other games in the NFL today? Aren’t you tired of getting cold called by services that tell you about their 750,000 star play that’s a guaranteed winner. Here is a bit of advice…NOTHING is guaranteed when you are betting on sports. These so called “handicappers” call 500 people on a Saturday morning and give them all a free play; 250 people will get the Chargers -9 and 250 will get the Raiders +9. After the game ends, they call back the 250 people who won and pitch them on charging thousands of dollars to their credit cards for more guaranteed winners. We are not your typical sports handicapping service. We care about our members and we live and die on every play. Why? Because we are moving thousands of dollars of our own money on the same plays we give you. Gambling on sports is how we make our living. Do we win every play? Absolutely not and we will never pretend to. Our plays are always posted for all to see, including our losing streaks. But by the end of the year we always seem to have a few hundred thousand dollars of the sportsbook’s money in our casino account. Let us try and do the same for you. Join our family of winners today and start your winning streak tonight.
