The Oakland Raiders will play their second game in five days on Thursday night, and here are three things to watch for in their matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Oakland Raiders ran their 2019 record to .500 this past Sunday, as they took care of business inside the Coliseum against the Detroit Lions. Four days later, they will look to do the same against the Los Angeles Chargers, who also beat an NFC North team in Week 9, playing incredible defense against Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.

For the Raiders, the win on Sunday was a big one, as they had not been home since Week 2 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Quarterback Derek Carr and running back Josh Jacobs continue to play at a high level, and the defense finally got some stop late in the game when they need them, which has been a rarity this season.

Playing on a short week, it will be interesting to see who is healthy enough to go on Thursday for both teams. The Raiders have some huge names that are banged up right now, and we start our quick look inside this matchup there.

Here are three things to watch for on Thursday night.
