Chargers Raiders Picks, TNF Prop Bets

The total is tiny, the teams are atrocious and the QBs are mediocre rookies – so what Chargers Raiders picks make sense with a bad team favored and the total at 33 points?

There are eight separate betting trends that point to an UNDER play here but bettors also know the Chargers almost always lose as an underdog (5-20- SU) so the Raiders moneyline might be safe here as well. This line swung six points in favor of Vegas when Herbert was injured.

Easton Stick (should have played hockey with a name like that) goes for injured Justin Herbert and Aidan O’Connell is under center for the Raiders. Could be another ugly TNF game but let’s make some money on the mess at Draft Kings.

Why the Chargers can cover the spread

A rookie QB and a team that has nothing to play for can be a free-and-easy situation. And facing a bad home team on a short week may also favor a weak dog. They also catch the Raiders with injuries on the Oline and Josh Jacobs is also questionable (check their status).

Vegas has scored more than 18 points just twice all season so the Chargers staying within 3 points is perfectly logical.

Why the Raiders can cover the spread

Well, the Chargers are usually a toothless dog, losing 20 times in 25 tries when catching points. And the Vegas passing game is underrated and can exploit the Chargers secondary.

Vegas lays just a field goal here after being a field goal dog on the lookahead line from last week, meaning Herbert is worth six points to the sportsbook.

Chargers Raiders Picks

It’s sketchy to lay points on a bad Raiders team, so we will play a unit on the Chargers at +3 here. And while it’s a miniscule total, betting UNDER looks like the right side and all the recent history of both teams points UNDER. We go dog AND UNDER on the Week 15 TNF game.

Raiders Chargers Prop Bets

Aidan O’Connell OVER 205.5 passing yards at Draft Kings – we see the Vegas passing attack as underrated and the Chargers are vulnerable through the air. Both teams are 5-8 and basically kaput and Vegas may not have viable RB options with injuries.

Hunter Renfrow OVER 26.5 receiving yards at Draft Kings – same logic above and the WR has gone comfortably OVER this number the past three weeks.
