Tyler Lockett has averaged four catches over his last three games and led Vegas with four grabs for 62 yards last week, despite his quarterback taking 10 sacks against a tough Cleveland defense. Things get easier this week as the Raiders play indoors for the third straight time, this one against the Chargers. He’s now four games into his Raiders stint and saw a massive jump in usage last week, going from 28 snaps in Week 11 to 60. A big part of that is his new role in 2-WR sets, something he wasn’t included in previously. Books have been slow to react to his expanded role and the pass-heavy game scripts Vegas keeps finding itself in. There’s some ladder potential here, but his yardage looks like the best angle to attack for the aggressive Alt-Over bets.
The Chargers come out of the bye into a perfect indoor matchup against a Raiders team that just lost to Shadeur Sanders. Oronde Gadsden’s price drifted after quiet performances in Weeks 11 and 12, but getting his TD at +210 — compared to an average of +170 over his last four — is strong value in this spot. Even during his low-output weeks, the rookie tight end stayed active near the goal line with three red-zone targets. Since Week 8, he has double the red-zone looks of any other Chargers receiver. He’s rested, the matchup is soft, and the Raiders just let Harold Fannin command 30% of Cleveland’s targets, 36% of its receptions, and 20% of its receiving yards. A fair price here should be closer to +175.
The Raiders are the NFL's lowest scoring team, averaging just 15 points per game, and won't put up enough points to hit the Over on the total.
The Chargers are 2-0-1 ATS against their divisional rivals.
