According to my Vegas sources, nearly 71 percent of all wagers to come in on the game have come in support of Raiders. The line, which opened at 3-points in favor of the Raiders last week, has ticked up slightly to Las Vegas as 3.5-point home underdogs. The total which opened in Vegas at 55 is displaying reverse line movement as 54% of the money is on the over yet the total has dropped down to 53 at DraftKings Sportsbook.
The Chargers have become a team to fade after absolutely crushing their backers; going 1-6 ATS over their last seven games. On the other hand, Derek Carr and the Raiders have gone 4-3 SU and ATS over their last seven games, but are also another difficult team to trust at the betting window. The Raiders have recently going 0-3 ATS over their last three games!
In terms of player proposition wagers, I would look to target Raiders TE Darren Waller. Last year's breakout tight end has turned 27 targets into 20 receptions for 275 yards and two touchdowns over his last two games. DraftKings Sportsbook has Waller’s receptions set at 6.5 (-134) and his receiving yards at 62.5 (-125).
Back in Week 9, Waller posted five receptions for 22 yards and a touchdown against the Los Angeles secondary in the first matchup with their AFC West rival. Waller’s any-time touchdown market of +150, is attractive, considering the fifth-year player has scored three touchdowns in his last four games and will now be facing a Chargers defense that has allowed the third most touchdowns (9) to opposing tight ends.
