NFL Lines Week 5 Chargers at Raiders

Chargers and Raiders will meet in an unusual time as they clash at 11:35 PM ET at O.co Coliseum, in an AFC West late week 5 Sunday night game.

San Diego is 2-2 in the season with a great win over the Cowboys last week. Quarterback Phillip Rivers threw 401 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in the 30-21 victory over Dallas.

However, the Chargers will go without DE Dwight Freeney who tore his quadriceps and won’t be around for the rest of the season.

“Anytime you lose a great player like Dwight Freeney, it’s a blow to your team,” Chargers Mike McCoy said. “That’s offense, defense, special teams, in your league. When you lose one of the greatest players of all-time on your team, with an injury like that, in a game, that’s tough.”

The Raiders are 1-3 in the season; last week they dropped one at home against the Redskins with a 24-14 result.

“It’s a divisional game, so we know it’s going to be a tough, competitive football game,” Oakland coach Dennis Allen told the team’s official website. “I think they’ve got good players, and again, we’re going to have to play well to beat them.”

QB Terrelle Pryor didn’t play last week, but he should be ready to face San Diego.

“I just try to make the right decisions and the smart decisions and be a smart person and player,” Pryor said. “Obviously, if there’s three guys coming cramming down on me I don’t want to challenge all three of those guys so get down. Just be myself and play football. That’s how I have to play.

The Chargers are 4.5 favorites in the NFL Lines. San Diego is 8-1 SU in its last 9 games when playing on the road against Oakland, and 9-2 against the spread when playing the Raiders in Oakland.
