Playoffs or Bust: Chargers vs. Raiders predictions, Week 18

Predicting the winner of the Sunday night showdown between the Chargers and Raiders.

Welcome to the end of the regular season. It is Week 18 and playoffs are on the line.

Last week, the Chargers earned a decisive 34-13 victory over the Broncos. Simultaneously, losses by the Dolphins and Ravens boosted their chances of making their first postseason appearance since 2018 to 53%.

As a result, they once again control their playoff destiny and the path to the Wild Card spot is simple.

If the Bolts beat the Raiders on Sunday, they clinch a playoff berth. Both teams sit at the same 9-7 record, but Los Angeles holds the current tiebreaker via their 28-14 win during the first division matchup in Week 4.

Who’s going to come out on top?
