Philip Rivers’ 16-year run as the quarterback of the Chargers is over. He pulled up stakes and moved east and the Chargers announced they would not make a run at keeping him come free agency.

Despite this uncertainty, and the Chargers finishing last in the division (5-11) in 2019, oddsmakers still have the Raiders (7-9) with longer odds than the Chargers to win the AFC West this year.

Obviously, the reigning Super Bowl champion Chiefs are far and away the favorites to win the division. After that, there’s a steep drop-off.

Over at BetMGM, the Raiders have the third-longest odds at +1000 while the Chargers are second with +700. The Broncos are last with +1200.

The Raiders finishing behind the Chargers in the odds is happening on various betting sites, including Sportsbetting.ag and BetOnline.ag, which has the Chargers and Broncos with the same +800 odds while the Raiders sit in last place at +1000.
