OAKLAND, Calif. -- Derek Carr has been at his best in clutch situations this season for the Oakland Raiders, leading two late comebacks to help fuel the teams best start since 2002.The season has gotten off to the opposite kind of start in San Diego, where the Chargers have led all four games at the two-minute warning only to lose three of those in the closing minutes.So while the Raiders (3-1) come into their first division game of the season full of confidence, they also know how small the difference truly is between them and San Diego (1-3).Theyre just a few points away from being 4-0, Raiders quarterback Derek Carr said. I never look at someones record and say thats who they are. Because, when you turn the film on and you see that defense running around, thats definitely not what it looks like.For 58 minutes, the Chargers have been as good as anyone. But they blew a 21-point lead to Kansas City in the opener before allowing a game-tying TD with 1:11 left and losing in OT; allowed a 63-yard TD pass with 1:28 to go in a 26-22 loss to Indianapolis in Week 3; and then fumbled twice late to blow a 13-point lead last week to New Orleans .Its executing on both sides of the ball, quarterback Philip Rivers said. In the defensive meeting room theyre saying, `Just stop them. Just one stop in these games and we win. In the offensive room we say, `Why do we even send them back out there? I dont think its a flawed approach. Weve just got to get it done.The Raiders have gotten it done late in games with Carr leading a TD drive and throwing the game-winning 2-point conversion with 52 seconds left in the opener at New Orleans , then adding a go-ahead TD pass to Michael Crabtree with 2:12 to go last week at Baltimore .The defense also delivered late stops to seal wins against Tennessee and the Ravens.I love those situations, Carr said. I get so fired up that I have to just calm myself down. You have to stay calm and its not like, `Oh no, the games on the line. Its like, `Yes, the games on the line. Thats stuff that you dream of as a kid.Here are some other things to watch:HOME NOT SO SWEET HOME: The Raiders have won all three road games while losing to Atlanta in their one home contest. That has been a pattern these past two seasons under coach Jack Del Rio as the team is 7-4 on the road but 3-6 at the Coliseum.We need to win at home, theres no doubt about that, Carr said. Our fans are too awesome. They deserve it.MORE INJURIES: The Chargers list of starters out for the season increased again when cornerback Jason Verrett was diagnosed with a torn ACL in his left knee. Verrett, who was a Pro Bowler last year in his second NFL season, joins WR Keenan Allen, RB Danny Woodhead and LB Manti Teo to on the sideline.Its devastating to have to go through that, but man, its still early in the year, Verrett said. Weve still got a lot of good guys that will be on the field.ROOKIE RUNNERS: With starter Latavius Murray nursing a sore toe that could force him to miss the game Sunday, the Raiders may have to rely on a pair of rookie running backs to carry the load against the Chargers. Fortunately, they have been up to the task so far this season. DeAndre Washington has rushed for 147 yards with a 6.4 yard average, while undrafted Jalen Richard has 144 yards and is averaging 8.5 yards per carry.BOSA WATCH: Chargers rookie DE Joey Bosa thinks he might be making his NFL debut this week. The No. 3 pick overall in the draft missed training camp during a nasty holdout and then hurt a hamstring.I havent taken one snap in the NFL so Im just looking to get one and then keep going with that, he said. Of course its a huge game, division rivals. Theyre playing really well right now.Ive been looking forward to this for a long time.SECRET WEAPON: While players such as Carr, Cooper, Crabtree and Khalil Mack get most of the publicity on the Raiders, punter Marquette King is putting together a stellar season. King is averaging 50 yards a punt and has pinned opponents inside the 20 on nearly half his kicks (11 of 23). Hes coming off his best game yet, a 46.5-yard net average on eight punts last week.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---AP Sports Writer Bernie Wilson in San Diego contributed to this report.

LONDON --?Andy Murray versus Milos Raonic in the Wimbledon mens final on Sunday (9 a.m. ET on ESPN/WatchESPN) is hard to call, as one of the games best defenders takes on a sensational server.But we asked two of the finalists coaches and two more top tennis figures to help predict where the match on Centre Court will be won to make it a little easier:Carlos MoyaRaonics coach, a former world No.1 and Grand Slam championIt will be very important that Milos keeps believing in himself. He needs to stay strong mentally because we know that Andys going to always be there.Andy will be like a wall and he will make Milos play every point. But I dont think it will be a factor that this will be Milos first Grand Slam final; Im sure of that.Milos showed against Roger Federer on Friday how well he can compete under pressure on the big stage.Federer is the best grass-court player ever -- probably the best player of all time on all surfaces -- and Milos beat him.He has people around him, and especially John McEnroe, who can tell him the difference between winning a Slam final and losing it.Its important that Milos has a high percentage on his first serve. There will probably be some changes to Milos game-plan from the match that he played against Andy in the Queens final [which Murray won].Milos needs to keep doing the positive things that he did in that match and learn from the things that can be done better. It was good that they played that match as Milos has learned from it.Patrick MouratoglouSerena Williams coachWith their first serves, both of them will probably win around 75-80 percent of the points, but whats going to happen with their second serves? That will make a big difference.If theres one weakness in Murrays game its his second serve andd you can be sure that Raonic will be targeting that and taking the ball early on his returns.dddddddddddd He will be trying to put more pressure on Andy.Andy will need to take more risks with his second serve to avoid being under pressure all the time. The fact Murray has Ivan Lendl is big, though. He trusts him a lot.Andy has already had the biggest success possible with Lendl by winning the 2013 Wimbledon title. Its impossible for someone to trust their coach more than Murray trusts Lendl.So Murray is the favorite, but not by much. He has the experience of having already won two Slams, and hes also playing at home and has the crowd behind him. Its going to be tight, probably five sets.Michael ChangKei Nishikoris coach and a former Grand Slam championAndy has played so many Grand Slam finals so its kind of second nature to him. But hes going to be in a bit of a different position on Sunday as he doesnt have Novak Djokovic or Federer on the other side this time. Hes not the underdog any more and that might be a factor.Raonics serve and Andys return are obviously going to play important roles. Off the ground, Milos is going to have to hit enough winners but keep his error-count down.Andys not going to give him a whole lot and hes going to track down a lot of balls. Andy will be pretty solid overall, so Milos has to take his chances. He has to execute.Jamie DelgadoMurrays coachIts awesome that Andys in another final. Its obviously not easy, as hes expected to win these matches, but he has been focusing really well. He played some offensive tennis in his semifinal [against Tomas Berdych] and he deserved to win.
