NFL Thursday Night Football Preview: Raiders @ Chargers

This pro football betting action is scheduled for 8:20 PM ET, on Thursday, November 10, 2011, from Qualcomm Stadium, in gorgeous San Diego, California.

For the past several seasons, the San Diego Chargers (4-4) have been a team with big expectations. Their results on the field however, have not come close to matching their headlines. While they fought back bravely, down 45-24 in the fourth quarter against the Green Bay Packers in Week 9, the Bolts came up short with a 45-38 loss.

Oakland (4-4) is not the same team without their leader on offense. The Raiders have dropped two straight contests since RB Darren McFadden went down in Week 7 with a foot injury. The Raiders have been outscored 66-24 in those two games. Oakland let a 24-14 third quarter lead slip away, in Week 9 NFL action, as the Denver Broncos scored 24 unanswered points to earn a 38-24 win.

While the Bolts have been anything but Super Chargers, they are the better club in this contest tonight. San Diego has quality loses against the Patriots, Jets, and Chiefs (all on the road) and to the Super Bowl Champs last weekend.

Oakland lost the mojo, from their 4-2 start, when QB Jason Campbell was lost for the season with a broken collarbone. The problem has been further compounded by the loss of McFadden. Retread QB Carson Palmer, along with RB Michael Bush, are not the answers to the questions in Raider Nation.
