The Raiders are pretty clearly better now and their schedule isn't as hard, so I don't see why they'd drop two wins from last season.
Most of the lines for the top and bottom teams look pretty good to me.
Noticed that. Thought it was a little light but I guess with the QB uncertainty and the Chargers expected to be better they aren't giving Raiders any credit.

The Chargers are cleaning house. I hope people enjoy losing money on them for the 20th year in a row.
As a 4th round rookie, on a team that was so bad it was the first to fire it's head coach, AOC won 5/10 of his starts. I don't see why anyone would expect him to only win 6/17 starts on a more talented team with a better coach.

I think people are betting they have a great coach and a great QB. Both remain to be seen. I have been disappointed with Herbert thus far in his career. A couple years ago I would have pegged him as a definite top 5 guy for the next decade but I don't know if I would even put him top 10 now.

It's interesting, I've seen him twice a year (at least) for his whole career and I still don't have a great feel for why he's not more successful. He's clearly super talented, but Raider Nation's never too concerned about facing off against him.
Maybe it was just terrible coaching, which they clearly had. I think they'll be good in 2025, but this year they'll be learning a new system and rebuilding a lot of the roster.

Harbaugh will definitely have a better running game than Staley did so maybe that will help him.

Better scheme, sure, but they lost their star running back (I think).

Yes Ekler is with the Commanders now. I am sure they will be drafting a RB.
