Top NFL player prop bets for Chargers vs. Raiders
After simulating Raiders vs. Chargers 10,000 times, the model predicts that Justin Herbert will easily surpass 293.5 passing yards and finish with 332. Entering Week 4, Herbert ranked fourth in the NFL with 956 passing yards, and the 2020 NFL Rookie of the Year has now surpassed 300 passing yards 10 times in 18 career starts.
The only time in 2021 that Herbert hasn’t topped 293.5 passing yards was last week in a win over the Chiefs in which Kansas City ran the ball effectively to keep the Chargers’ offense off the field. Herbert still finished with a respectable 281 passing yards in that contest. Against a Raiders defense that ranks 14th against the pass after facing three teams that have struggled to throw the ball (Ravens, Steelers and Dolphins), expect Herbert to light it up.
SportsLine’s NFL model also has Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III easily going over his total receiving yards line of 46.5. The model sees Ruggs continuing to showcase his big-play ability, as he averages 58 yards (18.3 yards per catch) in 10,000 simulations of Chargers vs. Raiders on Monday Night Football.
Ruggs had an underwhelming rookie season overall, but flashed big-play potential by averaging 17.3 yards per reception. Now, he’s taken on a bigger role in the offense and more regularly shown he can take the top off defenses. Through three weeks, Ruggs has 11 catches for 237 yards and a touchdown. He hasn’t had fewer than 46 yards in a game this season and in the last two weeks he’s had a 113-yard output and a 78-yard output.
