UPDATE: The Los Angeles Chargers and Las Vegas Raiders are set to clash in a crucial AFC West matchup today, November 30, 2025, at 1:25 PM PST at SoFi Stadium. As both teams navigate rocky seasons, this game carries significant implications.
With the Chargers looking to recover from a devastating 29-point loss to Jacksonville, and the Raiders struggling after losing nine of their last ten games, the stakes couldn’t be higher. “Raiders, it’s a rivalry,” said Chargers Coach Jim Harbaugh. “And we know they’re going to bring it.”
The Chargers, who started the season with a promising three divisional wins, are aiming for their first sweep of the season against a Raiders team that just fired offensive coordinator Chip Kelly following a humiliating home defeat to Cleveland.
For the Raiders to turn their fortunes around, interim play-caller Greg Olson must establish an offensive rhythm while addressing communication issues. They will rely on running back Ashton Jeanty and a revitalized ground game, all while protecting quarterback Geno Smith, who has faced intense pressure, being sacked 18 times in the last three games.
The Chargers, on the other hand, need to solidify their offensive line to protect Justin Herbert and find traction with their running game. Despite the Raiders’ defensive strengths, their vulnerability in coverage presents an opportunity for the Chargers’ talented receivers, including Ladd McConkey and Oronde Gadsden II, to exploit mismatches.
In terms of injuries, the Raiders will be without tight end Michael Mayer, and have several players, including center/guard Jordan Meredith and running back Zamir White, listed as questionable. The Chargers will miss running back Omarion Hampton, while defensive lineman Otito Ogbonnia remains questionable.
Fans can catch the game live in Southern California on CBS and Paramount+, or stream it nationally via NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV. Local radio coverage will be available on 640 AM and 105.5 FM.
According to NFL analyst Sam Farmer, the Chargers are poised for a rebound. “Their offensive line will be tested, and the Raiders should get a boost from changing offensive coordinators. Still, the Chargers have the better roster and should be able to pull away at home,” he predicts a final score of Chargers 28, Raiders 17.
This game isn’t just another matchup; it’s a chance for both teams to redefine their seasons. Stay tuned as we bring you live updates and results!
