The Raiders will pay a visit to an old rival this Thursday when Oakland clashes with the San Diego Chargers on the NFL Network.

Black Friday (and its online counterpart, Cyber Monday) signaled the start of yet another holiday shopping season. The handicapping world is also in overdrive this month. We’ve got pro and college football, pro and college hoops, and a healthy dose of hockey to get us through December – not to mention the latest superfight from the boxing ring.

As we get closer to the big games, betting interest will soar, and so will the number of wagers available. About half the Super Bowl betting handle (which is estimated at $6-10 billion worldwide, or $100 million in Nevada) will come in the form of prop bets.
