Los Angeles Chargers vs Las Vegas Raiders prediction

The Chargers have underachieved all season and now likely won’t have Herbert due to a broken finger. That means Easton Stick and his 25 career pass attempts would get the nod on the road. The Las Vegas Raiders have issues of their own, but they’re at home, Aidan O’Connell has shown flashes, and they continue to play hard under coach Antonio Pierce. The Raiders have been competitive three straight weeks against the Dolphins, Chiefs, and Vikings, and the scoring defense has improved to ninth in the league. I have to lay the field goal with the Raiders.
