The Raiders are 17th in yards and 15th in points, while the Chargers are the best in the league in fewest yards allowed and are 10th in points allowed. It will be tough to find a weak spot in this defense. The Raiders will most likely be running the ball a ton this game, they are 5th in the league in rushing.

The San Diego Chargers offense vs the Oakland Raiders defense also favors the Chargers. The Chargers are number 1 in offense and 3rd in points, while the Raiders are 13th in yards allowed and 19th in points allowed. What will be interesting to see is whether the Chargers run the ball against this 28th ranked rushing defense. If not, then we are going to have a great matchup between the top passing offense against the 5th ranked passing defense. However I do believe that since the Chargers will run the ball, and be effective, I say that the free NFL picks advantage goes to the Chargers. The special teams are a bit even. The Raiders are 17th in kickoff return average and 24th in punt return average, while the Chargers are 10th in kickoff return average and 23rd in punt return average. The Raiders are 18th in kickoff return average allowed and 21st in punt return average allowed, while the Chargers are 10th in kickoff return average allowed but gives up the most punt return average. It will go down to the individual returners for each team, and the Raiders have a better returner who had a kickoff return for a touchdown last week. I will give the slight free NFL picks week 13 edge to the Raiders. The coaching staff is one sided. The Chargers have a great offensive minded coach in Norv Turner that has Phillip Rivers as his quarterback. Norv Turner lets Rivers do what he wants on offense. The Chargers defensive coordinator Ron Rivera has this defensive playing on a high level. All of his schemes and play calling works well against any offense. The Raiders head coach Tom Cable puts some fire into this defense. They do have different ways to getting to the quarterback. But I just believe that a great offensive mind and one of the elite quarterbacks in the league is better than whatever the Raiders are going to try and do. The free football picks advantage goes to the Chargers coaching staff. My free NFL picks week 13 on the Oakland Raiders vs San Diego Chargers Sunday late afternoon football game are out. The Raiders are no match for a team who always gets hot at the end of the year. The Raiders need 3 things to happen. They need their special teams to step up, they need to run the ball very effectively, and they need to get to the quarterback a bunch of times. If they can do all 3, they have a good chance of winning. Maybe 1 of these things might happen, but it won't be enough. The Chargers win this one handily, 31-10. --- by Eric Price at 1800-sports.com on December 01, 2010
