After an embarrassing 37-0 slaughter at the hands of the Miami Dolphins, the San Diego Chargers will be back at it on Sunday to take on their interstate rival; the Oakland Raiders. Sunday’s game will feature two teams who are 0-3 in their last three games. The difference is that the Raiders are win-less on the season, while the Chargers are 5-4 on the season. This game means a lot more than just a win. If the Chargers win Sunday’s game against the Raiders (which most likely will happen), they will gain something that isn’t measured by a number: confidence. After losing by such a large margin against Miami, the Chargers need this game to get back on track and to re-establish themselves in the AFC West.

In this article though, I will be giving my three keys to a Chargers win this Sunday against the Oakland Raiders. I will look over the offensive and defensive keys to the game and interweave my keys with some hard-core predictions.
