NFL 2025 Raiders-Chargers Week 13 Preview And Picks

The Raiders (2-9) have lost 5-straight games and 9-of-10 with their only win over the worst team in the league, Tennessee (1-10). The Raiders-Chargers Week 13 matchup favors the Chargers again. The Raiders scoring average of 14.9 points per game ranks last in the league, just ahead of the Titans (15.1). The Raiders also average just 79 rushing yards per game – also last in the league alongside the terrible Titans.

The Las Vegas Raiders recently fired offensive coordinator Chip Kelly. The running game has not improved over last season’s averages and results, and it won’t get any better against the Chargers with the Raiders still missing top OT Kolton Miller and having injury issues along the line. But the Chargers have dealt with more injuries and key losses along their offensive line, but LA still projects to have better point of attack play with their stronger defense as well.

The Raiders/Chargers game didn’t make my NFL Week 13 picks, props and parlays, but I still have an opinion on the bolts to win and cover the big number.
