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

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

The Los Angeles Chargers (6-5) and Las Vegas Raiders (4-7) face off in an AFC West battle Sunday at Allegiant Stadium. Kickoff for this Week 13 matchup will be at 4:25 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Chargers vs. Raiders odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Chargers have lost 3 of their last 5 games but are coming off a last-minute 25-24 win over the Arizona Cardinals as 2.5-point favorites. Down 24-17 with 2 minutes to go, QB Justin Herbert led Los Angeles down the field and hit RB Austin Ekeler for a 1-yard passing TD. Instead of tying with an extra point, the Chargers opted to go for a 2-point conversion which was a successful pass to TE Gerald Everett.

After having 2 separate 3-game losing skids this season, the Raiders have finally strung together a 2-game win streak where they’ve also covered the spread. Both of those wins came in overtime and were settled by 6 points (22-16 at Denver Broncos and 40-34 at Seattle Seahawks).

The Chargers and Raiders last played in Week 1. The Chargers won 24-19 and covered as 3.5-point favorites.

Chargers at Raiders picks and predictions

Prediction

Raiders 27, Chargers 24

Moneyline

The Chargers have an insanely-long injury list and are missing so many key contributors. Because of this, their defense isn’t as good as it was at the start of the season.

The Raiders’ running game has been rolling with Jacobs who had 229 rushing yards on 33 carries last week against the Seahawks. The Chargers are allowing 151 rushing yards per game, so if Jacobs plays then the Raiders should take advantage.

BET RAIDERS (-130).

Against the spread

AFC West matchups can be tight, so this one being decided by less than a FG isn’t out of the question. With the juice so close to the moneyline, you’re better off AVOIDING the spread and betting on the moneyline.

Over/Under

Both squads have a 6-5 record on the Over. The Raiders should be able to run the ball on the Chargers while Herbert will take advantage of a weak Raiders pass defense. Expect a decent amount of scoring and LEAN OVER 49.5 (-110).

Chargers at Raiders: Game notes

The Chargers won against the Atlanta Falcons 20-17 in Week 14 to snap a two-game slide. PK Michael Badgley‘s 43-yard field goal as time expired sealed the victory as the Chargers covered as 1-point favorites. QB Justin Herbert completed 36 of 44 pass attempts for 243 yards with 2 touchdowns and 1 interception, and RB Austin Ekeler added 146 total yards (79 rushing, 67 receiving). The defense finished with 3 picks and held the Falcons to 70 rushing yards.
The Raiders (+2.5) took a hit to their playoff hopes with a Week 14 home loss to the Indianapolis Colts 44-27. The defense had no answers for the Colts offense, which scored on 7 of its first 8 possessions and finished with 212 rushing yards and no turnovers. It was such a pathetic defensive performance that Las Vegas fired defensive coordinator Paul Guenther after the game. On the bright side, Raiders QB Derek Carr threw for 316 yards with 2 TDs (and 2 picks), while WR Nelson Agholor tallied a game-high 100 receiving yards on 5 receptions.
With three weeks to go, the Raiders’ playoff chances are 15%. They were above 50% before the Indy loss, according to Raiders Wire. Vegas is 1 game back of the Miami Dolphins (8-5), who currently hold the AFC’s final playoff spot, and 1 game back of the Baltimore Ravens (8-5), who lose a tiebreaker to Miami (conference win percentage). The Raiders can catch the Dolphins since they play in Las Vegas Week 16, but the Ravens should win out with three easy games remaining – vs. Jacksonville Jaguars, vs. New York Giants and at Cincinnati Bengals.
The Chargers have been eliminated from the playoff race.
The Raiders beat the Chargers 31-26 in a controversial ending as 1-point favorites in their first meeting this season Nov. 8. The host Chargers seemed to have scored a game-winning, 4-yard touchdown pass on the final play, but it was overturned after a replay review. Carr (165 passing yards) rallied the Raiders with 2 third-quarter TD passes after trailing 17-14 at the half, and Hebert finished with 326 passing yards with 2 TDs.
The Raiders are 7-3 in the last 10 of the head-to-head series, including a current 3-game win streak.

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

Prediction

Raiders 37, Chargers 33

Money line (?)

PASS. The Raiders’ -175 price is just a tad high. We’ll focus on the spread.

Against the spread (?)

Back the RAIDERS -3 (-115). They face a must-win to basically keep their playoff hopes alive. The Chargers, who snapped a six-game ATS slide with their win against the Falcons, have nothing but pride to play for. If the line climbs to 3.5, this is a PASS.

Over/Under (?)

The OVER 53.5 (-115) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1.5 times your usual wager. The Raiders defense is a mess, ranking 30th in the NFL by allowing 30.1 points per game (37.5 in the past four games). The Chargers defense isn’t much better, yielding 27.8 PPG to rank 26th. Look for Carr and Herbert to have big days in this shootout.
