See the betting data I provide from FanDuel and more for Raiders-Chargers 2024 NFL Week 1. Also, coaches comments from new Raiders full-time coach Antonio Pierce as he tries to motivate and lead the Raiders to a road win against new Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh and the LA Chargers.

Gardner Minshew Brings ‘Aura’ For Raiders To Rally Around

Minshew earned the starting nod now playing for his fourth NFL team in five years. He seems to fit what coach Pierce desires from his leaders and top players as the team prepares for Raiders-Chargers 2024 NFL Week 1.

“His personality, leadership and image is infectious,” Pierce said. “He’s free-spirited, but more importantly, (he’s) a great teammate and loves to compete.”

The home team has won 6-straight games in the series. Recall back in 2020 when we took the road team Chargers (+3.5) in Week 14, and they beat the Raiders 30-27 in OT in QB Justin Herbert’s rookie season. There were no fans in the stands that first year at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas during the pandemic. Now the Raiders have the hottest and highest-priced tickets in the NFL and the Raiders will play their first home game of 2024 in Week 3 vs. the Carolina Panthers.
