While the San Diego Chargers already know their fate heading into the season finale, the Oakland Raiders don’t know whether or not they will play in the playoffs for the first time since 2002. These two AFC West rivals meet Sunday in Week 17 with a lot at stake for one team. Oakland needs some help, but they have to win first before any of it matters. The Raiders will be going for their fourth straight victory in this series after beating the Chargers 24-17 on the road on November 10th. Taking...

The Lions rallied from 13 down in the 4th quarter to stun the Raiders 28-27. Detroit is now 9-5 and needs to win just one of their final two games to secure a spot in the playoffs. The Chargers need a little more help to make the postseason. San Diego crushed the Ravens 34-14 on Sunday Night Football to improve to 7-7, but are still a game back of the Broncos and tied with the Raiders...

The Chargers beat the Bills 37-10 this past week, giving them back-to-back wins for the first time since they won three straight from Sept. 25- Oct. 9. Getting a third straight win won’t be easy. Baltimore won 24-10 at Indianapolis for their fourth consecutive win, keeping them tied with Pittsburgh, Houston, and New England with an AFC-best record of 10-3. Taking a look at the week 15 NFL lines, oddsmakers...

Both teams have slim chances of making the playoffs as it is, and the loser will all but be eliminated. These teams have split six meetings since the turn of the century. Buffalo was victorious 23-14 at home in their most recent meeting in 2008. Taking a look at the NFL odds, I find a line of San Diego -6.5 over Buffalo with a total set of 47.5 points. San Diego The Chargers opened the season...
Read more about Bills Chargers Odds Chargers Jaguars Spread - December 2, 2011I’m sure the producers of Monday Night Football did not expect the San Diego Chargers and Jacksonville Jaguars to be this bad through the first 11 games of the season. However, both teams have struggled to this point, and neither is likely to make the playoffs. The Chargers and Jaguars will square off Monday in Jacksonville in what has become a pretty meaningless game. The home team has won each of the last four meetings in this series, including a 38-13 victory by San Diego last season. Philip...

With some timely heroics from new starting quarterback Tim Tebow, that is precisely what has happened. Meanwhile, the Chargers continue to shoot themselves in the foot with untimely turnovers. These two division rivals square off Sunday in San Diego. The Chargers have won four straight meetings in this series, including a 29-24 road victory...

Chicago is on a roll right now, while San Diego is reeling and in desperate need of a victory. This is only the fifth meeting between these teams since 1993. Chicago won the first four, but San Diego was victorious 14-3 at home in their most recent meeting in 2007. Philip Rivers only threw for 190 yards with an interception, but the Chargers’ defense limited the Bears to just 202 total yards en route to victory. Taking...

According to...

The Chargers will look to rebound from a devastating loss at Kansas City on Monday Night Football. San Diego was simply running down the clock to kick a game winning field goal, but fumbled the snap and wound up losing 20-23 in overtime. The loss dropped San Diego into a 3-way tie for 1st place in the AFC West. The Packers return from their bye week with a perfect 7-0 record and comfortable...

The Chiefs come in off a 28-0 blowout win at Oakland. The Chiefs have won three straight, improving to 3-3 after opening the season 0-3. One of those losses was against the Chargers, 17-20 at San Diego. The Chargers fell 21-27 at New York, pushing their overall record to 4-2. If Kansas City can find a way to win this game, it would create a 3-way tie for first in the division, as the...

The Jets snapped a three-game losing streak with a 24-6 win over the Dolphins on Monday Night Football, moving back to .500 at 3-3. The Chargers come return from their bye at 4-1 overall, but this team still has a lot prove. San Diego hasn’t exactly looked all that impressive in their four wins, and those four teams are a combined 4-17 on the season. The last time these two teams faced...

San Diego improved to 3-1 with a hard fought 26-16 win over Miami last week. It’s the best 4-game start for Norv Turner since he took over the head coaching job in 2007. The Broncos were no match for the defending champs last week, falling 23-49 at Green Bay. Denver desperately needs a win to avoid falling to 1-3 and 0-2 in the AFC West. Taking a...

The Dolphins looked like they were on their way to beating the Browns last week, but allowed a touchdown with 43 seconds to play to lose 16-17. It was the Dolphins sixth straight loss in the regular season, as they ended last year with a three game skid. The Chargers were able to hold off Kansas City for a 20-17 win to improve to 2-1, but it wasn’t the type of...

These rivals meet up in Foxboro at Gillette Stadium Sunday with the kick off set for 4:15 EST.

Kansas City finished dead last in the West with a 4-12 record in 2009. The Chargers bounced back from a 2-5 start to finish second at 9-7. The biggest surprise was the fact that the Oakland Raiders went a perfect 6-0 against the division, but still finished third with an 8-8 overall record. The Denver Broncos failed...

They came into the season as the clear favorites to win the AFC West, but ended up a game behind the Kansas City Chiefs at 9-7. The Chargers early season struggles finally caught up to them. Despite finishing the year 7-2, their 2-5 start was too much to overcome. It put an end to four straight division titles, and many wonder if the Super Bowl window has closed. I don’t think the Chargers are out of the picture just yet, if it wasn’t...

San Diego was great on both offense and defense, but had arguably the worst special teams unit in the league. Luckily for the Chargers that is an area you can improve rather quickly.

The Chargers, however, stumbled out of the gate losing to the Kansas City Chiefs in week 1 and finished the season second in the division at 9-7. A lot of things went into the Chargers struggles last year: their special teams unit was awful, they were decimated with injuries and players sitting out, and they got little to nothing out of their 2010...
