Patrick Mahomes vs. Justin Herbert: Who Will Throw For More Yards?

Even though it’s only Week 3, Sunday Afternoon will be a crucial game in the AFC West. The Raiders and Broncos are 2-0 and could both be 3-0 at the end of the day. Yet the loser of the Chiefs-Chargersgame, will be 1-2 and facing an uphill climb. 

With Justin Herbert going against Patrick Mahomes, we should expect fireworks, drama and a great quarterback battle.

WynnBET currently has Mahomes’ player prop for passing yards set at 306.5 (Over:-116/Under:-115), while Herbert’s line is at 295.5 (Over:-115/Under:-116).

Mahomes has outhrown both of his opponents this year, and I expect for that trend to continue this week. 

The Chiefs are second in the league in passing yards per game, averaging 333.5 yards despite being 21st in passing attempts. The efficiency and big-play nature of the Chiefs’ offense is one of the reasons they’re so dangerous. With Clyde Edwards-Helaire role still unclear, Kansas City is going to stick to what they know -- and that’s Patrick Mahomes.

Los Angeles is going to put up a fight, as the last time these two quarterbacks met the game went into overtime. Herbert has thrown for over 330 yards in each of his games this season, but with Mahomes on the other side, it’s going to be hard to out-duel him. 

I expect the Chargers to be down in this game, so there’s a possibility that Herbert is able to sneak a win. However, I don’t think I can bet against Mahomes to have a great day when 1-2 is on the line. The Chiefs will win the game, and it will be on Mahomes’ shoulders.
