Near record scoring saw 14 Week 2 games thus far average 52 points per game. I anticipate both quarterbacks to have another solid week passing and more balance on offense despite both coaches preference to run the ball more. Home underdogs are just 2-10 SU and 4-8 ATS to start the 2025 season after a losing year overall last season for home ‘Dogs. See more details in my MNF Raiders-Chargers Week 2 preview at OSGA.

Each week’s Raiders roundup and picks/opinions are separate, unless mentioned otherwise. I did kickoff the 2025 season with a winner on the Raiders as underdog in Week 1 in their 20-13 road win at New England.

I also included the Raiders as a Week 8 underdog pick last year when they lost but covered ATS at Kansas City during a historically bad 4-win season in which the Raiders running game continuing to be among the worst in the NFL.

Now they have top draft pick RB Ashton Jeanty to join ROY TE Brock Bowers (? Monday) and a capable QB in Geno Smith.

Raider Nation is in full support as the Raiders shoot to move to 2-0 on the season with the winner of the Raiders-Chargers Week 2 game in sole possession of first place in the AFC West.
