Does anyone see the Raiders at -6 1/2 as a trap?

The Raiders are a national team. Lots of fans and lots of money being bet on them at -6 1/2 (I see it's at -7 in some places). They play the 0-3 Chargers at home. Easy win right???

Just seems too easy to me.

I for one don't see how the line should be that high. This is an Oakland team who did NOTHING on monday night against Denver, could not move the ball, and who's QB was screaming at the O Coordinator all game long. They are nothing on offense without Jerry Porter and this is an SD team looking for their first win. I don't see it as a trap if people can realize that this team isn't much after what they showed Monday Night. I think Ladinian can run all over this team if he wants to and Boston is very good too. However, no real pick for this game but I just don't think it is a trap... Good luck with whatever you choose

kbmnm- David Boston was suspended by the Chargers for this game. This team is horrible. I'm not playing the game but I think the Raiders will beat San Diego handily.

Played the Raiders -6.5 at Canbet.
Sometimes you just gotta go with your
gut and not listen to what everyone else
is saying. A Super Bowl team last year
to has beens and a bunch of old men after
three games . I wish I had a dollar for every
time I heard the Raiders are too old this
year. They are playing a doormat NFL team
at home after an embarassing loss on national
TV. I like the Raiders big today.

The dog is 19-9 in the series. Also SD is 10-4 ATS at Oak. Having said that, I think Oakland will be more than ready to play after Monday nights disaster. I think the Raiders will pound the ball, and with Sd's top 2 receivers out, don't see how SD will score. Don't recommend the Fav and under much, but this looks like a 27-10 game.
