Chargers vs. Broncos NFL Preview
The San Diego Chargers are hoping to snap their three-game losing streak Sunday

Oakland is 0-9 SU and 4-5 ATS through nine games of the season, as it looks to gain revenge from a 31-28 defeat to San Diego as 7.5-point home underdogs on Oct. 12, as it was out-gained by just 27 yards in that affair.  The Raiders have dropped their last 15 games dating back to last year, which is important to consider when making your Week 11 NFL betting picks, which is the longest losing streak in the league since the Rams lost 17 games in a row from 2008-09.  Oakland is 3-11 SU and 5-8-1 ATS versus AFC West opponents the last two-plus seasons, with the UNDER going 8-6 in that situation.

The Raiders are mired in a seven-game road losing streak, which can’t be ignored when looking over the NFL betting odds, especially since rookie quarterback Derek Carr has compiled a 67.7 passer rating in his last two contests.  Oakland has some big-play capabilities with Carr under center, especially since he tossed a season-high four scores in his first go around against the Chargers, including a 77-yard score to Andre Holmes in the opening quarter of that affair.

San Diego hopes to snap a 0-3 SUATS run coming out of its bye week, as it was last seen suffering a 37-0 defeat to the Miami Dolphins as three-point road underdogs on Nov. 2—getting out-gained by 263 yards.  Chargers signal-caller Philip Rivers should have a big game against one of the team’s biggest rivals, as he completed 22-of-34 passes for 313 yards and three touchdowns last month at the O.co Coliseum in the Bay Area.  San Diego is 11-9 SU and 10-10 ATS at home the last two-plus seasons, with no clear edge in terms of the betting total (10-10 Over/Under).

The Chargers are hopeful that running back Ryan Mathews will return from a knee injury that has sidelined him for weeks, as he was coming off a career year in 2013—rushing for 1,255 yards with an average of 4.4 per carry.  San Diego is averaging a league-low 3.1 yards per rush, while it has put up the second-fewest points per game since Week 7.

Sports bettors will likely back the Raiders due to the underdog cashing in 10 of the last 11 installments of this rivalry.
