UPDATE: The Los Angeles Chargers are set to clash with the struggling Las Vegas Raiders today, November 30, 2025, at 1:25 p.m. PST at SoFi Stadium. This AFC West showdown promises high stakes as both teams are desperate for a win.
The Chargers, coming off an embarrassing loss to Jacksonville, are looking to regain momentum and secure their first sweep of the season against a Raiders team that has faltered, losing nine of their last ten games. Coach Jim Harbaugh emphasized the significance of the rivalry, stating, “Raiders, it’s a rivalry. And we know they’re going to bring it.”
For the Raiders, today’s game is crucial. After a humiliating home loss to Cleveland, they have made changes to their offensive strategy, appointing interim play-caller Greg Olson. To improve their chances, the Raiders must establish a solid ground game with Ashton Jeanty and ensure quarterback Geno Smith is well-protected. Smith has been sacked an alarming 18 times in the last three games, including a shocking 10 sacks last week against the Browns.
The Chargers’ path to victory hinges on protecting quarterback Justin Herbert behind a patchwork offensive line. They need to capitalize on the Raiders’ defensive weaknesses, especially in the secondary where they have struggled against speedy receivers like Ladd McConkey and Oronde Gadsden II.
Injury reports reveal significant absences for both teams. The Raiders will be without tight end Michael Mayer, while several players, including center Jordan Meredith and defensive tackle Adam Butler, are questionable. The Chargers will miss running back Omarion Hampton and have defensive lineman Otito Ogbonnia listed as questionable.
Fans can catch the game on CBS and Paramount+ in Southern California, or nationally through NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV. Local radio coverage will be available on 640 AM and 105.5 FM.
As the tension builds ahead of kickoff, analysts predict that the Chargers have a stronger roster and should secure a win at home, with projections estimating a score of Chargers 28, Raiders 17. This matchup is not just about statistics; it’s a battle for pride and playoff positioning.
