Monday Night Football Showdown: Chargers vs Raiders Betting Odds and Expert Picks
The LA Chargers (1-0) and the Las Vegas Raiders (1-0) are set to clash in an exciting AFC West showdown on Monday Night Football. The game, scheduled for 7pm PT / 10 pm ET, will take place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, NV.
The Chargers, currently 3.5-point favorites, have been impressive on the road, with their lone loss in their last seven games as road favorites coming in the Wild Card Round in Houston last season. Justin Herbert, their quarterback, had a phenomenal debut, torching KC for 318 yards and 3 touchdowns. However, their run game looked lifeless in Week 1, with rookie RB Omarion Hampton averaging just 0.6 yards before contact.
The Raiders, underdogs in this matchup, have a strong record as divisional underdogs of at least 3.5 points at home over the last five seasons, with a 12-5-1 ATS record. Brock Bowers, a key pass catcher for the Raiders, is expected to play despite missing practice with a knee injury. Geno Smith, their quarterback, had an impressive debut, throwing for 362 yards and a TD against the Patriots.
Las Vegas' run defense was stout in their debut, yielding just 3.5 yards per attempt. The Raiders' defense ranked third in pressure rate and second in QB knockdown percentage in Week 1. Ashton Jeanty, a favorite in the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds, looked good in his season debut and should get plenty of run tonight.
The consensus total for the game is 46.5. Bet365 offers -110 odds on the over, and DraftKings hangs -102 odds on the under. Home division underdogs between 3 and 6 points in Week 2 have covered at a 59% clip since 2003. The best odds for Las Vegas +3.5 are -110 at FanDuel.
Interestingly, only 11% of the moneyline tickets are on Las Vegas to pull off the upset. The Chargers have a strong ATS record in their last seven games as road favorites, with a 6-1 record. The Raiders' record as home division underdogs by at least 3.5 points in the past season is not specifically provided in the available search results.
As the two teams prepare to face off, fans and analysts alike are eager to see how this highly anticipated matchup will unfold. With both teams coming off victories in their season openers, the stakes are high, and the competition promises to be fierce.
