Los Angeles Chargers vs Las Vegas Raiders Prediction & Picks - NFL

Prediction published on 11/30/25, 12:51 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 12/1/25 at 11:19 PM in NFL Picks

The Raiders, with a 2-9 record, host the Chargers at SoFi Stadium. The Chargers, with a 7-4 record, are 9.5-point favorites.

The Chargers had a bye week; in Week 11, they suffered their worst loss in the last two seasons, falling 6-35 to the Jaguars. It was a difficult game for Herbert; he was sacked twice and rushed on numerous plays. The Chargers tried to run the ball more, but it didn't work either. In total, Herbert has been sacked a high of 35 times this season.

But none of that has dampened the betting odds' rampant confidence that the Chargers can beat the Raiders. Las Vegas suffered its ninth straight loss and the ninth of the season, eliminating them from playoff contention. Their latest 24-10 defeat against the Browns resulted in the firing of their offensive coordinator, Chip Kelly. This season, Geno Smith has experienced more sacks than Herbert, totaling 41. The Raiders fumbled twice against the Browns, while Smith faced 10 sacks in his previous game.
