ASA play on 8* Los Angeles Chargers +3 or +3.5 at Las Vegas Raiders, 8:15 PM ET - We are grabbing the points here in what shapes up to be a low scoring game. The Chargers are without Justin Herbert for the rest of the season and turn to QB Easton Stick to lead them from here on out. Stick actually looked decent last week against Denver going 13 of 24 for 179 passing yards. Stick is a proven winner as he went 49-3 in college at North Dakota State. He’s been with L.A. for 5 years and knows the system as well as anyone. The Raiders also have quarterback concerns as Aiden O’Connell hasn’t really stood out. Last week the rookie was 21 of 32 for 171 yards and an interception. The Raiders offense is one of the very worst in the league ranking 29th in DVOA. Expect L.A. to focus on their running game here against a Raiders D that ranks 25th in rushing yards p/game allowed and 23rd in yards per/rush allowed. You can’t bet the Raiders and expect them to cover any number greater than 3-points when they average 15.5PPG and have scored 17 or less in four straight games. The Chargers beat this Raider team earlier this season 24-17 as a 7-point favorite and Herbert was a pedestrian 13/24 for 167 yards. As we stated earlier, with the low total of 34-points on this game we like whatever points are available and the Dog.
