- An AFC West showdown between the Los Angeles Chargers and Las Vegas Raiders is featured in the NFL Week 15 TNF game
- The total on receptions by Chargers RB Austin Ekeler is set at 4.5 in the TNF props
- A look at a number of Chargers vs Raiders player props can be found below with odds and picks
The Los Angeles Chargers scored just 13 points over their past two games, but that’s 13 more than the Las Vegas Raiders were scoring last Sunday. In fact, the Raiders have managed to score as many as 20 points just twice in 13 games this season. Does that mean you should be playing the unders in tonight’s Chargers vs Raiders props?
Neither team knows who their starting quarterback is going to be, and the Raiders could also be without reigning NFL rushing champion Josh Jacobs. In the midst of all this mess and uncertainty, there are still Thursday Night Football player props to be played.
Let’s take a look at the best bets for this game in the Week 15 Chargers vs Raiders NFL props.

Chargers vs Raiders Props #1: Austin Ekeler Receptions
With so much talent potentially unavailable for this game – Chargers QB Justin Herbert is out, while LA WR Keenan Allen and Las Vegas RB Josh Jacobs are unlikely to play – the one elite star that can be counted on in either offense is Chargers RB Austin Ekeler.
Chargers’ RB usage in Week 14:
Austin Ekeler 10-51-1
Isaiah Spiller 6-19-0
Joshua Kelley 3-6-0Ekeler also caught 5-of-7 targets for 49 yards. No other RB was targeted.

Certainly it’s not been a career year for Ekeler. He’s averaging a career-low 3.7 yards per carry. But he has caught at least five passes in two of his last three games and his reception total for this game is 4.5, with a healthy +118 betting line.
The Chargers went conservative with the passing game once Stick took over for Herbert under center. Expect that strategy to continue, which likely means a lot of short passes to dual threat Ekeler out of the backfield.

Chargers vs Raiders Props #2: Maxx Crosby Sacks
The NFL public betting splits are of two minds in the Chargers vs Raiders picks for this game but everyone can agree that Raiders EDGE Maxx Crosby will be frothing at the mouth to put a stick on Stick. He’s accounted for 13.5 sacks through 13 games and if you do the math, that’s more than one per game.

Crosby has four sacks in the past three games and seven in the last five. He got to the QB twice when the Raiders played the Chargers in Week 4. All he needs is one sack in this game to hit the over on his total in tonight’s TNF Chargers vs Raiders props.
