Las Vegas Raiders at LA Chargers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Las Vegas Raiders at LA Chargers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Las Vegas Raiders and LA Chargers open their seasons at SoFi Stadium Sunday. Kickoff is set for 4:05 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Raiders vs. Chargers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Raiders went 0-2-1 in preseason action and didn’t give the starters too much burn. The team added QB Gardner Minshew, who earned a Pro Bowl appearance with the Indianapolis Colts last season. Las Vegas took Georgia TE Brock Bowers with its 1st-round pick, adding another weapon to its offense. The Raiders will look to build on an 8-9 finish last season.

The Chargers had a disappointing season a year ago, finishing 5-12 and losing their last 5 games. They fired coach Brandon Staley in December, opening the door for Jim Harbaugh — fresh off a national championship with Michigan — to get hired in January. QB Justin Herbert will still be the team’s main weapon, but he lost both WR Keenan Allen and RB Austin Ekeler. Los Angeles went 1-2 in its preseason action. It added the top offensive lineman Joe Alt with the 7th-overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft.

Raiders at Chargers picks and predictions

Prediction

Raiders 24, Chargers 23

Moneyline

BET RAIDERS (+138).

The Raiders have the weapons to score on a Chargers defense that gave up 107 points through the last 4 weeks of the 2023 season. Las Vegas actually put 63 on the Chargers in Week 15. Minshew is consistent and should be able to find his talented options.

PFF.com ranked the Raiders as the 9th-best defensive line, with the Chargers 22nd. LA is a bit more difficult to trust in Week 1 since 2 of its key players on the offensive side are rookies. Considering those factors, take RAIDERS (+138).

Against the spread

PASS.

The field-goal spread really isn’t a bad play, but the better option is taking the plus-money underdog straight up. Play that in this situation.

Over/Under

BET OVER 39.5 (-115).

The Chargers have a big-arm quarterback in Herbert, who has thrown for over 4,700 yards in 2 of his last 3 seasons. He should have a bounce-back season. He has also thrown 10 or more interceptions in 3 of 4 years, so he may produce turnovers that give away points as well.

Minshew’s Colts went Over in 11 of 17 games a season ago. Expect his consistency to help the Raiders score frequently. The Raiders scored 20 or more in the last 4 games of the 2023 season as well. Back OVER 39.5 (-115).

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.
