Chargers @ Raiders: Touchdown Dance Contest

Recommended Prop Pick:

Austin Ekeler, Keenan Allen, and Josh Jacobs to combine for more than 1.5 touchdowns

This should be a great game that features plenty of scoring as it currently has the highest total on the board at 49. Ekeler kicks off this contest as he has scored a total of 18 touchdowns this season, which is second-most in the NFL behind only Jonathan Taylor. He gets a solid matchup against the Raiders, who have allowed a total of 21 touchdowns to running backs this season (15 rushing and six receiving). He will be heavily involved and should have a tremendous shot at getting into the end zone.

Keenan Allen has seen an average of nearly nine targets per game over his previous five games and has also found the end zone four times over that same span. He will be facing a Raiders defense that has only allowed 10 receiving touchdowns to wideouts on the season, but given the ability of Allen and his recent propensity to score, he must be included in this contest, especially considering the Chargers are the favorites.

Josh Jacobs has scored eight touchdowns on the season and has crossed the goal line in three of his past six games. He will be facing a Chargers defense that has allowed 18 rushing touchdowns to running backs on the season, which is tied for second-worst in the league. Jacobs has also seen an average of nearly 17 carries per game over his previous four games, so he should be heavily involved in this one against a weaker run defense.

Chargers @ Raiders: More or Less Contest

Recommended Prop Pick:

Josh Jacobs more than 59.5 rushing yards and Austin Ekeler more than 55.5 rushing yards

Josh Jacobs and the Raiders are also battling for a playoff spot against the Chargers on Sunday night (notice a recurring theme?). They will want to keep the Chargers' high-powered offense at bay for as long as possible and the best way to do this is by running Jacobs. He has seen an average of over 19 carries per game over the previous three weeks and has also eclipsed this total in each of his previous two games. The Chargers have also allowed running backs to rack up over 110 rushing yards per game over the previous four weeks.

Ekeler will be heavily relied upon in this game much the way he was in Week 4 against these Raiders when he carried the ball 15 times for 117 rushing yards and a touchdown. The Raiders have struggled against the run all season and have allowed an average of 96 rushing yards per game to running backs in 2021. Ekeler has averaged nearly 14 carries per game over the previous four weeks and has also gone over this total in each of those four games.
