Las Vegas Raiders vs Los Angeles Chargers Prediction 5 January 2025

Is it logical for the sportbooks to have a clear favorite in the last round of the NFL regular season clash between the Las Vegas Raiders and the Los Angeles Chargers? More likely than not. A perennial outsider against one of the leaders - this is how the brief preview of the match, for which a prediction has been published for all our users, looks.

Las Vegas

Las Vegas is still far from reaching the elite level. However, a few steps in the right direction have been made. Recently, Tom Brady became a co-owner of the team, which had a positive impact on the results. In their recent "black" days, they left little chance for New Orleans (25:10), and before that, they won a tight battle against Jacksonville (19:14). Now, the chances for Antonio Pierce to remain in the coaching seat have slightly increased, as tactical developments finally started to bear fruit.

Los Angeles

Los Angeles is tackling far more ambitious tasks, boasting a quality selection of players and a solid coaching staff. Last winter, the team just missed out on the playoffs. However, immediate lessons were learned from this. At present, Jim Harbaugh's crew has the best defense in the league (conceded the least). Although the offense is also in great shape. Last weekend, the guys had a blast over New England (40:7), securing a rather comfortable advantage already in the first quarter (7:0).

Editorial Prediction

In this match, Los Angeles, in our humble opinion, is obliged to break Las Vegas's resistance. Since the September head-to-head confrontation of the presented teams ended without fundamental changes (10:22), we expect that there will be no revenge. Victory for the visiting club - our priority choice for the match.
