## Resource

The Chargers start 0-3 as they face a surging Raiders team already 1-0, in a rivalry game that could shift the divisional standings. New Raiders coach Klink Kubiak, a Super Bowl-winning OC, has opted to start veteran Kirk Cousins over rookie first-rounder Fernando Mendoza — a move sparking debate among fans. Cousins’ shaky debut — just 1-of-7 on deep balls and two interceptions — has fueled calls for Mendoza to take over sooner rather than later. Defensively, the Raiders’ line struggled against blitzes last week, forcing them to rely more on passing, which could put pressure on Cousins. Despite the Raiders’ momentum, one analyst still believes the Chargers have the edge in talent and experience, predicting a nail-biter win for LA by a 24-21 score — though he hopes he’s wrong.
