The Las Vegas Raiders will have a tough battle with the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 1, an AFC West matchup. What do experts think about the Raiders' chances in Jim Harbaugh's NFL return?
The Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers will battle in what should be a tightly contest matchup between AFC West rivals. The Chargers have new head coach Jim Harbaugh, making his return to the professional level after a national championship season with the Michigan Wolverines.
Week 1 will likely hold big implications for both teams going forward. Both teams are just about evenly matched, but some experts are favoring the Chargers. All four writers for USA Today were unanimous in their picks for the Chargers."Los Angeles will be interesting under Jim Harbaugh, who is making his return to the NFL," Reyes. "I expect his teams to eventually be strong on both lines, but it may take some time to get there.
"As much as this is a home game for the Chargers, the Raiders fans in Los Angeles will surely make their presence felt in this one," Deen wrote. "The new-look Chargers might not be as cohesive under coach Jim Harbaugh as the Raiders are under Antonio Pierce. But the Chargers have the best player on the field -- quarterback Justin Herbert -- who should make all the difference."
