3 reasons the Las Vegas Raiders will beat the Chargers in Week 15

Do or Die

The premise here is really simple if this Raiders team cannot get up for not only a divisional game but a game that helps keep them alive in the playoff race, they do not deserve to be in the postseason. For the second year in a row, the franchise has wasted a strong start to the season, and they begin an uphill climb to the playoffs on Thursday.

Derek Carr has stated numerous times that he wants to actually play in the playoffs, and in Year 7, he needs to get his team there. Firing Paul Guenther was a move that had to be made, and the Raiders are getting healthier, so if they can just play consistent football for four quarters, they will put themselves in a position to at least take care of their own business and let the chips fall where they may.

The Raiders need the victory on Thursday to keep their slim playoff chances alive, so expect this team to come out fired up. There has been a lot of issues in recent weeks, and the Silver and Black would like nothing more than to get right against their division rival.
