Easton Stick over 198 passing yards
Losing Justin Herbert to injury is a huge blow to an already-struggling Chargers team, but all hope is not lost.
Easton Stick has a cannon for an arm and has been quietly marinating in Los Angeles, waiting for a time to pounce. He put up 179 yards against the Broncos and his total this week against a Raiders defense giving up 237 per game over its last 3 (including 97 last week…spot the anomaly) is only 20 yards more.
The Chargers needed a spark and not that losing a franchise QB is, but it might prompt a different, more conservative style of offense that lends itself to checkdowns and game management. This is good news for a quarterback who is renowned for his all-or-nothing arm talent.
I think Stick sneaks over 200 yards on Thursday night.
Austin Ekeler over 46.5 rushing yards
On the flip side, losing a franchise QB means we should see a big uptick in Austin Ekeler’s carries. While the Raiders will expect this, we must remember that they’re being beaten to the tune of 127 rushing yards per game.
Ekeler is a running back who just hasn’t looked the same over the course of this season. An injury early in the year derailed Ekeler’s chances of dominance, but he’s never really gotten back to even a mildly impressive level.
With that said, we must remember that the Vegas run defense is shoddy at best, and the Chargers will be forced to ride the run-game if they are to have any chance of success. Ekeler doesn’t need to be great to get over 46 yards.
Jakobi Meyers over 44.5 receiving yards
Jakobi Meyers might be one of the most underpriced receivers in the entire league on a weekly basis. He’s gone over this total 7 times in 2023, while his actual total prop bet has cashed in 6 of 12 games played.
He’s also getting a lot of looks in the red zone and has a 70% catch rate. It should come as no surprise that he leads the Raiders in receiving touchdowns.
Davante Adams is always going to Draw attention, but there is certainly some upside on a wide receiver who can put up 80 yards with ease on any given Sunday and one getting a consistent target share.
Over 34.5 total points
It’s rare to see a total this low. I know that the Raiders are only averaging around 15 points per game, and the Chargers were hardly world-beaters prior to losing Justin Herbert, but it only takes two early touchdowns to make this total seem beyond reachable.
Keenan Allen is still fourth in receiving yards this year. DaVante Adams had 3 touchdowns in a pair of games against the Chargers last year. Josh Jacobs and Austin Ekeler can still be game-changing backs when the opportunity presents itself.
34 points is just way too low here.
