It's win-and-in for the Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers tonight. Either team can punch their ticket to the playoffs with a victory in this game and, currently, Vegas is favoring the visitors to do that, with the Chargers set as -3 point favorites on WynnBET.

I explained why Justin Herbert should dominate in this game and the Chargers should cover in an article earlier today and I'm not deviating from that thought process here. The only difference is this parlay (bets placed together to bring the odds higher) pays out with +791 odds (bet $100 to win $791).

Here's my best parlay for this game with all odds coming from WynnBET Sportsbook.

Best Same Game Parlay Picks for Chargers vs Raiders

  • Chargers -3.5 (-115)
  • Chargers Over 26.5 Points (-120)
  • Justin Herbert Over 1.5 TD Passes (-225)
  • Austin Ekeler Over 31.5 Receiving Yards (-125)

Chargers -3.5 (-115)

Herbert has a 4-1 ATS record in his career in primetime games and would be 5-0 if not for a late blown lead against the Chiefs this year. The Raiders have won three straight but have done so against fading opponents -- Cleveland Browns, Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts. They are 2-2 ATS as home favorites, but lost to Washington at home and were blown out by the Chargers in their first game earlier in the season. Vegas has done well to remain competitive despite all their off-field issues, but this is where the storybook run ends.

Chargers Over 26.5 Points (-120)

L.A. hung 28 against Vegas when they played in Week 4 and has gone over this number in four straight games. On the season, they've gone over 27 points 10 times in 16 games. The Raiders defense has done better during their recent win streak, but against an elite offense (the Kansas City Chiefs) they gave up 48 points. Not saying the Chargers are the Chiefs, but they're a lot closer than anything the Raiders have faced during their recent win streak.

Justin Herbert Over 1.5 TD Passes (-225)

Herbert has gone over the number in six of his last seven games and 11 times overall this season. In five primetime games, he thrown 14 touchdowns. This kid likes the big stage. I think he shines bright again tonight.

Austin Ekeler Over 31.5 Receiving Yards (-125)

The Raiders give up over 38 receiving yards on average per game to running backs this season. Austin Ekeler is one of the best receiving backs in football. He was held to 28 receiving yards against the Raiders when they played in October, but has gone over this number in seven of 10 games since. I'll bet he breaks at least one big play in the passing game and/or gets enough volume to get over 32 receiving yards.

Here's what the bet looks like on WynnBET.
