The 2019 NFL season is coming to a close, and in Week 16, the Oakland Raiders will stay within the division and take on the Los Angeles Chargers on the road.

Week 16 is now upon us, and after losing four straight games, the Oakland Raiders need to finally put something in the win column. The holiday season has not been a very cheerful one if you are a Raiders fan. That can be said for the majority of the AFC West that is, with one exception being the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Chiefs are the only team in the division with a record over the .500 mark, which is a bit surprising considering this division was supposed to be one of the toughest in football this season. With that being said there are some exciting match ups this week.

The Oakland Raiders visit Philip Rivers and the Los Angeles Chargers, the battle of rookie quarterbacks as the Denver Broncos take on the Detroit Lions, and the Kansas City Chiefs take on Khalil Mack and the Chicago Bears. Now on to the picks!
