The Oakland Raiders are Free Betting Tips losers of two straight games and there is absolutely no secret as to why. The offense has taken a major downturn and the defense has been giving up way too many points.

When the Raiders were right, the running game was clicking. In their last two games, Darren McFadden rushed for 14 yards and two yards respectively. Prior to the last two games, McFadden had averaged 108 yards rushing per game. Oakland still has the talent to run the ball and they still have the 5th ranked running game despite their recent struggles.

Jason Campbell returns to the starting quarterback roll after Bruce Gradkowski was lost for the season. He had success as Raiders starter and will look to cement his roll on this team with a strong finish.

Defensively, Oakland has been good against the pass (5th ranked – 201.55 yards per game) but have been vulnerable against the run (133.73 yards per game).

The San Diego Chargers are finally making good on all the Free Sports Betting Tips that most pundits had before the season. They have won four straight games and are now one game back of the Kansas City Chiefs for the AFC West lead. They have been getting it done on offense and on defense all season and are finally getting the results.

The San Diego Chargers have the 2nd ranked passing game (294.27 yards per game) and they have found a running game in Mike Tolbert. Philip Rivers, Malcolm Floyd, Antonio Gates and now Mike Tolbert have the Chargers looking almost unbeatable!

The Chargers defense is 2nd against the pass and 3rd against the run. They have been doing their jobs all season long and have been a handful for every team that they have faced this year.

Free Betting Tips Outlook:

The Oakland Raiders are 2-4 ATS and 1-5 SU in their last six road games. They are 1-13 SU in their last 14 games against San Diego and are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 versus the Chargers. Oakland is 0-5 SU in their last six in San Diego and 2-4 ATS in their last seven trips to Qualcomm Stadium.

The San Diego Chargers are 4-1 SU in their last five games and are 9-2 SU in their last 11 games at home. They are 13-1 SU versus Oakland and 5-0 SU in their last five home games versus the Raiders.

The Chargers will win this game. They are coming off their most impressive win of the season thus far and they have something that Oakland doesn’t have – momentum. 12 ½ points is a little rich for my blood however. Since 2008, the Chargers have only lost once to the Raiders and none of their wins since that time have been by more than 10 points. Because the Raiders are a better club than they have been in the past, I expect them to cover the enormous spread in this one.
