Chargers open as underdogs to Raiders in Week 15

The Los Angeles Chargers (4-9) are looking to finish on a strong note as they are in the midst of the final quarter of the 2020 season.

Going into this weekend’s contest, the Chargers are currently 3.5-point underdogs to the Las Vegas Raiders (7-6) in Week 15 of the regular season, per BetMGM.

Los Angeles is coming off a close matchup that went in favor of the Bolts. After sharing a few interceptions, quarterback Justin Herbert marched Los Angeles down the field to set up kicker Michael Badgley for a 43-yard game-winning field goal.

Meanwhile, Las Vegas was downed by the Indianapolis Colts last Sunday, 44-27. The offense did all they could to keep up with quarterback Philip Rivers and company, but the defensive woes that have been ongoing all season continued. Following the contest, the Raiders fired defensive coordinator Paul Guenther.

The last time the two teams met was back in Week 9. It was a game that looked all but won by the Chargers on a last-second touchdown catch that was ruled incomplete upon review.

Thursday’s matchup will begin at 5:20 p.m. PT and will be televised on FOX.
