Chargers QB Justin Herbert has a 7-2-1 over record as a home favorite of four points or more. Both teams are in the top seven in the league in yards per pass attempt, while both are in the bottom 10 of the league in yppa allowed. Neither team is pressuring the quarterback, which leaves the door open for plenty of points. But if they can play a somewhat clean game, they will stay in it. Maybe that doesn’t get cleaned up and they lose again.
The Raiders’ biggest issue is a -7 in net turnover margin. With all that said, should the Chargers really be laying five points to any team? Whether Garoppolo plays or not, the Raiders have skill position players who can move the ball. Raiders star receiver Davante Adams spoke out this week about a lack of effort from players, while coach Josh McDaniels is making questionable decisions at the end of the game.
