Chargers at Raiders: ‘Thursday Night Football’ picks and open thread

The LA Chargers are getting set to take on the Las Vegas Raiders (-3)

in a game between two 5-8 AFC West teams whose playoff hopes are hanging by a thread. Strange, that sounds like a relatable situation to be in... These two teams have identical records, and both have been plagued by inconsistency and/or injury at quarterback. The Chargers are down to Easton Stick with Justin Herbert on IR, and the Las Vegas simply made the decision to bench Jimmy Garoppolo for Aidan O’Connell. On paper, this sounds like a toss-up. DraftKings Sportsbook seems to agree, as the Raiders are listed as three-point favorites — which amounts to home-field advantage, essentially.
