The Please Play Better Guesser Predict-A-Score: Chargers vs Raiders

Friends...fellow followers: Gather 'round so I do not have to shout these dark words. So, funny thing happened the night before Thanksgiving. RaiderDamus, Tiger Woods and Charlie Sheen were kicking it in Atlantic City at a Casino I won't name, but I will lend a hint--the owner's name rhymes with Donald Trump. Anyway, 8 naked women three donkeys, two parakeets and one wild-eyed Charlie Sheen burst from a room and straight into the casino.

RaiderDamus stayed behind in the room laughing while thinking it was even funnier in reality and Tiger Woods was just shaking his head and muttering, "I hate this time of year. She was just about to hit me with this golf club, 'til Sheen chased her off. Oh well, Tiger sleepy." Anyway, the fracas caused Sheen and friends to get tossed out.

The Great One was appalled. While getting thrown out, he went into a tirade and proclaimed that they shouldn't piss off an Oracle, who also happens to be a degenerate gambler. The Casino's began following him immediately. Of course, Damus knew this. Hence the misdirection on last week's failed prediction. He knew they were listening and watching. Armed with misinformation, the Casino took a bath last week.

Needless to say, Damus is in need of keeping a low profile again. The owner of the casino, who looks a lot like that guy that fires people on that apprentice show, does not like to lose money and he doesn't like to feel he was cheated by gamblers. As always, I expect Damus to stay one step ahead of his rivals. I received this prediction in my alphabet soup. Let's hope it is another misdirection.

RaiderDamus here with another round of predictions. Last week's debacle was predicated on the notions that 1) Chad Henne would not play and 2) Bruce Gradkowski would be at the least reasonably okay. Obviously, neither of those took place. Chad Henne is a beast, and Gradkowski was as bad as Jamarcus had ever been. It was dreadful. I was never in favor of Campbell being benched. I thought it was a stupid, reactionary move by Cable. Anyway, on to this week.


We are going into the Chargers' house when they're on an absolute tear. They haven't lost in like a month and they're coming off a complete dismantling of the Colts. The Raiders, on the other hand, have found themselves unable to 1) run, 2) pass, and 3) score points. This will be an absolute woodshed beatdown. Tolbert will probably run for about 160 yards, and Rivers may flirt with 400. Quentiin Jammer will have at least 1 pick and Shaun Phillips will have at least 2 sacks.

Chargers win, 45-13. They will win the division.

Exactly my prediction

45-13. We are going to get completely and utterly torn the fuck apart. It won’t be pretty.

Yet, I will still watch, and be pissed at the fact that this will happen.

I out-Damus'd the Damus and I can't get any love for being almost close with my 24-17 score last week?

Unforgivable….. Bwahaha. I had a bad feeling about last week but I absolutely hating being right about the outcome. Sadly, since the reverse-mojo is dead I’m gonna give my honest prediction on how Sunday will turn out.

28-7 Chargers Now that our run game and D-line isn’t anywhere near as good as it was last month, and we’re still waiting to see mediocre QB play from either of our QB’s.

but can never bring myself to actually predict we’ll do poorly.

I knew the Colts would fall off. Even so that we will beat them.

The score won’t be that lopsided, because there are days when we are better than the Colts. Plus, I doubt checkdown king will throw 4 pics (2 pic 6’s) like Manning did.
*
Take away those flukey Manning pic sixes and the score is 22-14 Chargers. That was just Manning forcing things. JC Won’t.

Plus, If we are to win this game, Imo, It will ultimately come down to Nnam.

If he can shut down the other WR, Phillips will just use 1 WR and a very banged up TE in Gates. So much so that Branch or Huff will shut him down. I predict some stupid PI’s by Chris Johnson.
 If Nam gets abused, it means he is not at least 90% and we will lose.

Either way we have no offense

No receivers, no tight end going against the #1 ranked defense. No chance.

Although... I have a feeling SD will rather give us closer field position by doing a short kick

than putting that kickoff of Jacoby’s hands. But still the field position will help us.

to predict games, I always stand true to our RAIDERS. but UNFORTUNATLY, i’ve been a raider fan and a football fan for to long.
with no real threat at WR spot and the ? marks at our QB spot, which those to elements have killed our running game two weeks in a row.
IT WILL BE A MIRACLE IF WE WIN

CHARGERS IN A ROUT???

I dont see the RAIDERS not only winning this game, but getting smoked in S.D….. 1) no passing game 2) too many penalities 3) key injuries on defense 4) SD revenge5) Phillip Rivers… that Raider secondary sucks!!!! He will have a field day against the very overrated Raider secondary. When your a one dimentional football team, you eventually are exposed by the better teams… There is a good possibility that the Silver and Black could drop their last five games.. Very possible!!!! 5-wins 11- losses.. SOUND FAMILAR????

Just win baby

Raiders go in as underdogs and ensue the greatest upset in NFL history. This will be the biggest game of the week. Score At half:
SD 21, OAK 3
We come back to win it
OAK 33 SD 30 in OT
We show the NFL the true meaning of football.

This, would indeed be what the gridiron is all about:

and we would no doubt, do this:

We show the NFL the true meaning of football.

as a victory in this one would be completely against the odds, and nothing short of miraculous.

I do know one thing: Raider or hater, the league would be so much more interesting with a Raider victory this week. No one, outside of the fairweather Charger fanbase, wants SD to win this game, though almost all are predicting it.

Hard to see a win based upon the last two Raider games

Looks like Nnamdi is fitter this week, CJ is still out. It will be interesting to see if Mitchell starts if Tyvon cannot go. Was any reason given for W. McFadden to play ahead of Jeremy Ware? Ware looked good in the few opportunities he has had to play.
 Chaz Schilens may even finally play this week.
 I am just hoping the Raiders can be competitive, be able to run the ball some. I’m hoping that LT was the Chargers reason for that long winning streak over the Raiders and now he is gone we will prevail.
Logic though say the Chargers will win.
Chargers 34 Raiders 6

by Oceanside Raider on Dec 4, 2010 12:24 AM PST reply actions  

Umm... yes... Thank god CJ is still out.

I feel confortable with Nnam and Routt. Hell, put Walter in the slot if neccessary, just don’t let CJ play.
His best play has only been that Denver Pic 6. Other than that… he’s a PI machine, TD machine giver.

Actually, I was never concerned about KC in winning the division

I’m compelled to believe that at this time the Chargers are the team to beat in the AFC West. My Raiders are still developing too much to fully contend with the Chargers, but I still have expectations about possible upsets as it already happened in the first game.

No matter how many times you change your user name to promote your pathetic blog, and no matter how many times the raiders lose, you’ll still wake up every monday as an absolute dick tard, living with your grandma because your mom kicked you out, and lamely photo shopping raider logos onto the many gay pride parade photos that you have close at hand.

Raiders Win By Unexpected/Unprecedented Annihilation Of Chargers

They simply implode after we score quickly on a “KO” Return and subsequent blocked punt when our “D” forces 3-n-out…

On the punt we have Ford back so their “P” worries about punting away from him and getting the coverage team down quickly but they don’t cover the all-out effort to block that punt while Ford is on an island…Raiders up 14-0 real early in the 1st….

We than take total control of this game with an aggressive pass rush using the “5 Man Front Big Nickle” with 3 "DT"s n 3 “S” n “DeathRo” in the middle who has his biggest game of the yr….

“DHB” shocks everyone as he becomes the forgotten man when they try to double little Jacoby Ford…With 2 speedsters on the right side the "DB"s fall behind and the bombs are flying….Meanwhile Chaz returns to team with Murphy on the left in the Raiders new “Spread O”….

Now the Raiders unveil their “WildCat” w “D-Mac”-n-Bush split behind “C” in the “Spread O”…Options galore as we run sweeps/Reverses n power running with the “2 Headed Monster” @ “QB”….The “Option Pitch” between the 2 backs has no answer as we rumble down field for the score…

Raiders 51 Chargers 17 as they finally score late….

Well….I man can dream can’t he!!!!/_

Realism

for a change. Revenge, homefield advantage, our run game blows, our D went MIA during the bye week, injuries all over the D at multiple positions, run game has disappeared, QB position……………. well it sucks better and AL’s Wingman’s mom for 5 bucks, the coaches have their heads buried in the sand………… you name it we suck and unfortunately the San Diego Super Dolts are in an up swing. Score will be 41-10 Chokers unfortunately. 400 yards in the air for Phyliss “Cry Me A” Rivers, some WR on SD any WR will get 150 yds and 3 tds, Sproles will get 2 TDs and 160 yds on the ground. We will have -30 net yards in the air, and 40 yards on the ground. Defense gets our only TD.

Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.

I'll go against the grain somewhat...

And say that I think/hope/believe that Cable and the coaches will get it together and put together a game plan, unlike what they have done recently. Division game, on the road, Chargers looking for vengeance, Raiders looking to start a new streak against them…

I’ll say that Rivers and Co will have enough on offense, but that the defense will play better than expected, with their backs against the wall. Jackson gets creative with the offense, and uses early misdirection, play action, running on passing downs and passing on running downs, trying to keep San Diego off-balance, and maybe another big play from Ford on ST.

Not quite enough, but a better game than many people expected: San Diego, 34-20.
