Las Vegas Raiders at Los Angeles Chargers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Monday Night Football’s Las Vegas Raiders at Los Angeles Chargers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Las Vegas Raiders (3-0) and Los Angeles Chargers (2-1) meet on Monday Night Football in Week 4 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Raiders vs. Chargers odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Raiders are 3-0, but each of their home victories came in overtime. In Week 3, Vegas topped the visiting Miami Dolphins, who had to go with backup QB Jacoby Brissett, by a 31-28 score in OT as the Over connected. The Raiders won their only road game 26-17 at the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2 as the Under cashed.

The Chargers are flying high after a 30-24 victory at the Kansas City Chiefs last week as 6.5-point underdogs. It was the third consecutive Under result for the Bolts this season. Los Angeles ranks seventh in the NFL in passing yards allowed (201.7) and points allowed (20.0) per game.

Raiders at Chargers odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Chargers 30, Raiders 24

Money line

After a couple of near-misses for the Raiders, they’re finally going to taste defeat for the first time. Playing CHARGERS (-180) isn’t a terrible price if you just want to pick a winner and not concern yourself with having to cover the spread.

Against the spread

The CHARGERS -3.5 (-105) is worth playing lightly. I like the way the Bolts offense has been operating, and the defense has had it on lockdown.

The Raiders have found a way to win the tight games so far, but I think the Chargers are a more complete team. It will show on Monday night in a well-played game for both sides. It’s nice to see this rivalry taking center stage in primetime while being a meaningful game again.

Over/Under

OVER 50.5 (-117) is worth a look, although I’d only make a small-unit wager on it.

The Over has cashed in five of the past six divisional games for the Raiders, while going 7-2-1 in the past 10 against teams with a winning record.

The Over has cashed in four of the past five inside the AFC West for the Chargers, too, while going 5-1 in the past six against winning teams.

Underdog corner: 3 best NFL ATS picks and predictions for Week 4

Assessing the NFL betting odds and lines for Week 4, with three predictions and picks for the best underdog ATS bets to make.

Our unblemished record fell by the wayside last Sunday as the New York Jets failed to cover the 10.5-point spread on the road against the Denver Broncos. (Deep analysis: Covering is almost always tougher when a team doesn’t score.) Below, we look at the top NFL underdog picks and predictions of Week 4.

Nevertheless, we hit on the New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Chargers, who both won outright on the road, to improve to 8-1 against the spread on the season. Seven of our nine underdog picks so far have notched straight-up, wins as well.

Jump aboard for Week 4 to see if we can keep the train rolling.

NFL underdog predictions: Week 4

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Wednesday at 4:25 p.m. ET.

Carolina Panthers +4.5 (-115) at Dallas Cowboys

QB Dak Prescott and the Cowboys were certainly impressive in their 2021 Big D debut Monday night, smashing the rival Philadelphia Eagles 41-21 to improve to 2-1 straight up and 3-0 against the spread.

The Panthers will be without injured do-it-all running back Christian McCaffrey so why are we on Carolina here in this meeting of 3-0 ATS teams? Three reasons:

  • The Panthers have a distinct rest advantage having last played a week ago Thursday night.
  • The Carolina defense has been an underrated force so far, leading the league in sacks (14), total QB pressures (47) and rushing defense (45 yards allowed per game, 2.6 yards per carry).
  • It’s an obvious letdown spot for the Cowboys coming off an emotional, prime-time rout of a division rival.

Dallas likely still wins, but the Panthers keep it close and cover.

Arizona Cardinals +4.5 (-110) at Los Angeles Rams

Two of the league’s five unbeaten teams clash in this early battle for NFC West supremacy.

The Rams have dominated the series of late, winning eight straight — all by at least 7 points — and going 7-0-1 ATS. Much like the Cowboys, the Rams are in a prime letdown spot coming off a big home win over Tom Brady and the defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Dangerous dual-threat QB Kyler Murray and the Cards, who are tied with the Bucs for the league scoring lead at 34.3 points per game, present a different kind of challenge and certainly have enough firepower to keep this one close.

Las Vegas Raiders +3.5 (-115) at Los Angeles Chargers

QB Derek Carr and the Raiders take their 3-0 record west for a Monday night division tussle with QB Justin Herbert and the 2-1 Bolts.

The Silver & Black won and covered in three of the last four meetings and in what figures to be a close game where Raiders fans will be in the majority at SoFi Stadium, go ahead and take the 3.5 points.

  • The Chargers lost on the final play of their game last week, falling 31-30 at the Denver Broncos as 3-point favorites.

Raiders at Chargers: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Raiders 35, Chargers 31

Money line (?)

The RAIDERS (-112) are the play. While rookie QB Justin Herbert (1,820 passing yards, 15 TDs, 5 INTs, 67.4% completion rate) has given the Chargers hope for their future, the RAIDERS are the better overall team. If this climbs above -125, play the spread instead. More importantly, if Jacobs is out, the play becomes a PASS.

Against the spread (?)

AVOID since we’re playing the money line. As noted above, this becomes the play if the money line climbs to -125 or higher. Don’t be afraid to lay as many as 3 points.

Over/Under (?)

The OVER 51.5 (-110) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1½ times your usual wager. Expect a shootout in this one. The Chargers have averaged 31.8 PPG in their last four games. Throw out the Raiders’ 16-6 game from last week’s win in terrible weather conditions in Cleveland, and their first six games have seen an average of 61.3 total points.
