Monday Night Football from SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, the Chargers -3, total at 51, -169 LA, +149 Las Vegas. Last year was 30-27 in Las Vegas, and 31-26 in LA. The hot start for both these teams both winning one against two time AFC Champs KC, making this a battle for first quarter season first place in the AFC West. Carr 350+ pass yards and 2 TD each of the first 3 games as the Raiders bring in the number one pass attack, scoring 30 a game. Defensively 11th allowing 24 per game. Carr 7-7(4-3 on road) vs. the Chargers, averaging 223.5 per game, with 18 TD, 8 INT, and a 93.4 passer rating.
Los Angeles has been impressive to this point, Herbert with 6 TD, 3 INT, 318.7 YPG, and a 97.9 rating. He has distributed the ball evenly between Allen, Ekeler and Williams. The defense has been stout holding opponents to 20 per game, they are however only averaging 22.3 per game scoring.
Mathematically the Raiders averaging 27 per game last 4 vs LAC making the team total seem like a good over play as 3 of 4 would’ve gone over that number. The flip of that is the Chargers averaging 24.5 in those four games, 28 in the two Herbert games meaning while 28 may happen they would’ve surpassed their number 1 of 4, 1 of 2 with Herbert. My prediction 30-24 Raiders
