🔥 Raiders vs. Chargers Predictions for NFL Week 2, Sunday, 9/20

Well, we’ve already seen what may end up being the biggest upset of the entire NFL season. Depending on the platform, the Chargers were double-digit favorites and ended up losing at home to the Arizona Cardinals. Now they get to host another young team with lesser expectations, so they need to hit some NFL expert picks in a big way.

Admittedly, we expected Justin Herbert and LA to take care of business, but it just simply wasn’t the case. Along with Las Vegas’ win, plenty of fans will be backing RB Ashton Jeanty and company with their Raiders vs. Chargers predictions. Speaking of which, the usually-stout LA defense allowed rookie RB Jeremiyah Love to score his first NFL TD all but instantly.

Despite everything we just discussed, LA still finds themselves as significant favorites of around a touchdown. So, let’s see if that’s where we should attack the Raiders vs. Chargers odds for Week 2 or not.

🏅 Raiders vs. Chargers Expert Pick: Ashton Jeanty Under 67.5 Rushing Yards (Pair w/ Splash Sports Contests)

Even after last week’s letdown and ruining a ton of survivor pools, it is extremely tempting to take LA covering in this spot. In fact, an embarrassing loss at home should have them as fired up as ever, and Las Vegas’ win likely has them overconfident - it came at home against arguably the worst roster in football, the Miami Dolphins.

So, consider LA covering a lean within our Raiders vs. Chargers predictions, but what should help them cover the spread is bottling up Ashton Jeanty. That part is sure to be even more difficult to pack after his fantastic Week 1 performance and the aforementioned Love TD, but we’re still going under this inflated line.

It was in the high 50’s for Week 1, and although LA’s run defense wasn’t up to last season’s standards, we still expect a better performance. Jeanty went for just 43 yards on 11 carries followed by just 31 yards on 15 carries. We may not see yardage totals that low, but still under the line that’s out there.

Going under player prop lines isn’t the favorite approach for most fans, but Ashton Jeanty under 67.5 rushing yards (add in Splash contests) is the best bet from our Raiders vs. Chargers predictions for Week 2.

🏉 Raiders vs. Chargers Injury Report & Latest News

When it comes to Raiders vs. Chargers injuries and news, there are some of the biggest in the NFL. Starting with Brock Bowers, after his knee surgery just prior to the start of the season, he was the biggest gut punch to fantasy owners. However, it’s since been reported that he could be back sooner than expected, so we have to monitor him closely this weekend.

Similarly, the big Raiders vs. Chargers injury concern in LA from Sunday was that of Ladd McConkey. He suffered a chest injury against the Cardinals, and we also saw Elijah Molden leave the game with a hamstring injury. Without a doubt, the latest Raiders vs. Chargers injury report before kickoff is a must to check in with.
