The pick:Chargers -3.Los Angeles was extremely impre sive in its road win over the Chiefs last week. Not only was sensational throwing four touchdown pa ses, but the L.A. defense was able to force four turnovers, including two picks off The Raiders offense has been impre sive to start the year, but Brandon Staley's defense has shown that it can stop opposing quarterbacks through the air. Against the run? That's a different story, but if Herbert and Co. are able to create a lead, that could force Jon Gruden to move away from the run. As strong as the Las Vegas front seven has been to start the year, slowing down Herbert is a lot different than and , https://www.shoppistonsedge.com/detroit-pistons-jeresy/jordan-mcrae-jersey the two quarterbacks they've most recently faced.Key trend:Chargers are 6-1 ATS over their last seven games. Bettors seemingly like the Under in this matchup as this https://www.shoppistonsedge.com/detroit-pistons-jeresy/mason-plumlee-jersey total has been dragged down throughout the week after opening at 53.5. It feel an entire point on Monday and has only continued to fall further, now sitting at 51.5 as of Sunday.The pick:Over 51.5. Both of these offenses have the capability of lighting up the scoreboard with the Raiders averaging 30 points per game and the Chargers averaging 22.3. In both of their contests last year, this total would have gone over by an average of 5.5 points. Meanwhile, the Over is 7-1 in the Raiders last eight games coming into this matchup.

That may have folks blindly betting the Over on his pa sing yards prop, but I tend to lean under. While the Los Angeles run defense is certainly spotty, they have been able to hold the likes of Mahomes and under this number over the last two weeks. Meanwhile, the Chargers secondary is allowing nearly a 70 completion percentage to opposing quarterbacks through the first three weeks, so the Over on his 24.5 completions -- a number he's eclipsed in each game this season -- certainly catches the eye at +100.

I'd be more prone to lean toward the Over on his 27.5 completions prop at -105. The Raiders are averaging 26 completions per game through the first three weeks, but did just allow Bri sett to complete https://www.shoppistonsedge.com/detroit-pistons-jeresy/allen-iverso-jersey 32 of 49 in Week 3.
