Chargers vs Raiders predictions for Monday Night Football

Chargers vs Raiders MNF best bets

Raiders Raiders +3.5

-110 at bet365

Rohit Ponnaiya liked what he saw from the Raiders in Week 1 and believes that momentum will roll into tonight.

"Given how well the Raiders played in their first game under Pete Carroll I have a slight lean towards them at anything above the key number of 3. Especially now that Bowers is expected to suit up."

Over 46.5

-110 at bet365

Ponnaiya believes Geno Smith will help get this game Over the total.

"Smith looked terrific in his Las Vegas Raiders debut last week, completing 24 of 34 passes for 362 yards. Chip Kelly's up-tempo offense looked like a natural fit for Smith, who had four completions 20+ yards downfield against the Patriots. He'll attack a Los Angeles Chargers defense that looks due for regression after outperforming expectations in 2024." 

Chargers vs Raiders MNF TD picks

Bolts Keenan Allen

+225 at bet365

Eric Rosales is backing veteran WR Keenan Allen in the touchdown department tonight.

"It was quite the 2025 debut for Justin Herbert, as he shredded the Chiefs for 318 yards passing and three TDs. One of those went to old reliable Keenan Allen, who is back and has added another layer to the passing game between deep threat Quentin Johnson and underneath guy Ladd McConkey."

Raiders Ashton Jeanty Over 66.5 rushing yards

+100 at bet365

Ed Scimia sees the Raiders calling Ashton Jeanty's number early and often in Week 2.

"Jeanty should have a bit of a softer matchup in Week 2. As good as the Chargers looked overall against the Chiefs, they did allow Kansas City to run for 5.8 yards per carry, a number that the Raiders will certainty look to exploit."
