Las Vegas Raiders at Chargers: Game preview and prediction in 2021 Week 4

Game Prediction

This will be the Raiders’ second Monday Night Football game this season, and although it will not be in Las Vegas, it will be another home game for the Raiders.  According to Vivid seats, at least 74% of the tickets already purchased were by Raiders fans.

This game will be the true measuring stick for the Raiders, as the Chargers came into the season as everybody’s dark horse to make the playoff,s or the Super Bowl. That was made even more of a thing when the Chargers went into Kansas City and won last weekend against the Chiefs.

They have a young quarterback who people are already crowning as one of the top quarterbacks in the league and a defense that has just needed health to get to hopefully get to that next level. I believe Las Vegas will come out of the gate strong on offense in this game with a purpose because of the slow starts last three games.

This game will once again come down to the wire as these teams are so evenly matched in every aspect of the game, but as he has so many times in his career I believe Derek Carr will drive the Raiders down the field at the end of the game for a Daniel Carlson game-winning field goal.

Prediction: Raiders 27, Chargers 24
