ProFootballDoc: Raiders at Chargers -- Evenly Matched AFC West Rivalry Monday Night Game

Through Week 4, the five Sunday picks against the spread are 12-8. The seven games went 4-3, but the ones that count were a disappointing 2-3. Seattle cruised, Dallas took advantage of Carolina's injury trend, Miami struggled, the Titans dominated on the ground as expected but lost, and Saquon Barkley hauled in a 54 yard TD pass for the win.

The Monday night matchup is a fun one. I lived through many rivalry Chargers vs. Raiders games and will be bringing the family to check out SoFi Stadium.

LV RAIDERS +3 vs LA CHARGERS

Overall, this is an evenly matched game in terms of health. The Saturday practice injury to LB Kenneth Murray could prove costly for the Chargers who now have to adjust last minute. Both squads are relatively healthy with Josh Jacobs having a good chance to play.

Take a look at the Field View and SIC scores at www.profootballdoc.com to make your own decisions but in this type of close game, the 3 points are valuable. And let's not forget that even though it is a home game for the Chargers, there will likely be many more Raiders fans present in LA on Monday.
