\"Raiders<\/a>
The Oakland Raiders will be without running back Darren McFadden Thursday night<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Oakland will be aiming to snap a two-game losing streak and is seeking a third consecutive victory in its series with the San Diego Chargers.\u00a0 The Raiders dropped a 38-24 contest to the Denver Broncos last time out as seven-point home favorites, but has still managed to out-gain their last three opponents.\u00a0 Quarterback Carson Palmer will be making his second start since being acquired from Cincinnati, playing his second career game at Qualcomm Stadium a venue that is near to where he grew up in Orange County.\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019m really looking forward to having a chance to go out and put better play on film and just go out and be successful,\u201d Palmer stated this week.\u00a0 Oakland is 9-6 ATS as an underdog of 3.5 to 9.5 points the last two-plus years.<\/p>\n

The Raiders will be playing just their second game since enjoying a bye week, as the entire locker room is looking to make it three in row versus their AFC West rivals.\u00a0 \u201cAny time you play a team in your division, you\u2019ve got to bring it,\u201d commented Raiders wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey.\u00a0 Three of the four teams in the division are tied for first place with a 4-4 record, with two of them being featured in this prime-time contest.\u00a0 Offensively, the team will be without the services of running back Darren McFadden, who will miss a second week with a foot injury.<\/p>\n

San Diego continues to be the league\u2019s biggest underachieving team, ranking in the top 10 in both total offense and defense.\u00a0 The Chargers will be looking to snap a three-game losing streak, dropping a 45-38 decision to the Green Bay Packers as 5.5-point home underdogs last week, but still won the statistical battle by 92 yards.\u00a0 Quarterback Philip Rivers knows how important this contest is to the team\u2019s season.\u00a0 \u201cThere\u2019s three teams deadlocked in the division,\u201d Rivers stated in practice.\u00a0 \u201cWe\u2019ve got eight to go.\u00a0 We\u2019ll see what happens.\u201d\u00a0 San Diego is 6-9 ATS versus division opponents the last two-plus years, while the \u2018under\u2019 is 8-6 in that span.<\/p>\n

The Chargers need to find a way to limit their mistakes, especially Rivers, leading the NFL with 14 interceptions.\u00a0 San Diego may also be somewhat fatigued in playing its third game in 11 days, something Norv Turner will be watching on the sidelines.\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019d like their bodies to feel like it\u2019s Sunday morning when we get going on Thursday,\u201d Turner stated in practice this week.\u00a0 The team has still dominated this series, winning 13 of the last 15 meetings.<\/p>\n

Bettors will likely back the Raiders due to their 4-0 ATS mark in this series, while the Chargers are 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games.<\/p>\n
