Raiders at Chargers picks and predictions
Prediction
Raiders 28, Chargers 27
Moneyline
The Chargers will be missing their starting running back and starting center, and could be missing 2 starting safeties and their best pass rusher.
The Raiders may be without Garoppolo.
Offensively, the Chargers have been rolling. They have only turned the ball over once in 3 games and have averaged 28.7 points and 416.7 yards per game.
The problem is defensively. They have allowed 450.7 yards and 29.0 points per game.
The Raiders have not scored more than 18 points this season, but that will change this week, even if they have to go with QB Brian Hoyer.
This will be an upset.
BET RAIDERS (+185).
Against the spread
Both teams are 1-2 ATS to start the season. The Chargers have not won a game or covered the spread as the favorite yet this season.
The Chargers’ only win this season was by just 4 points.
BET RAIDERS +4.5 (-110).
Over/Under
All 3 games for the Chargers this season have had at least 51 total points.
The Raiders have not had a game surpass 48 total points.
But the story for the Chargers has been defensive problems, which should continue with key starters hurt.
BET OVER 48.5 (-110).
