The Chargers likely need to win their final four games to have any shot of making the playoffs, and it's a necessity if they are to avoid their first sub-.500 season since going 4-12 in 2003.

San Diego hasn't dropped four straight since an 0-5 start in 2003, and one of those losses was a 34-31 defeat in Oakland. The Raiders have lost all 10 meetings since that game, and only one of the last seven has been decided by fewer than 10 points.

The Raiders are pretty much playing for pride. They must win out to avoid becoming the third team in NFL history to suffer at least 10 losses in six consecutive seasons. Get your NFL football odds in the Bodog Sportsbook.
