The final game of the 2021-22 season will feature the AFC West showdown between the Chargers and the Raiders on “Sunday Night Football.”
This game has strong implications in the playoffs. Both teams enter the showdown with records of 9-7, tied for second in the AFC West standings behind the Chiefs. If the Colts lose to the Jaguars on Sunday afternoon, the Chargers and Raiders would only have to tie to make the playoffs. However, if they don’t tie, the winning team would make the playoffs. If the Colts win on Sunday afternoon, both teams will most likely make the playoffs.
The Chargers beat the Raiders 28-14 in their previous meeting this season. The Chargers are 1-1 against the Chiefs and Broncos this season. The Raiders beat the Broncos in their two season meetings, while the Chiefs beat the Raiders in both games.
Justin Herbert has thrown for 4,631 yards this season and 35 touchdowns. Derek Carr is not far behind: He has thrown for 4,618 yards and 21 touchdowns.
This matchup is expected to be close with the Chargers opening as favorites by just 2.5 points, according to DraftKings Sportsbook.
