00:00 The Thursday night football game total for Chargers Raiders may only be set at 33-and-a-half,
00:05 but here's why I'm still betting on the over for these two star players.
00:09 Number one, Austin Eckler will go over 46-and-a-half rushing yards.
00:14 Now, I know he's only done this in half his games this year, but the Raiders have allowed
00:18 an average of 111 yards per game to opposing runners across the last seven.
00:23 And the Chargers are going to need to try to move the ball on the ground with the uncertainty
00:27 at quarterback.
00:28 Sorry, Easton Stick.
00:29 I'm not worried about Josh Kelly or Isaiah Spiller, as neither proved to be a better
00:33 runner than Eckler last week versus the Denver defense when he rushed for 51 yards on 10
00:38 carries.
00:39 The Raiders are allowing 4.45 yards per carry this season, and Eckler should be able to
00:43 get over this mark.
00:45 Number two, Devonta Adams over 67-and-a-half receiving yards.
00:49 Now, the one thing we can count on in this game is for the Chargers to struggle versus
00:54 the pass.
00:55 Over the past eight weeks of play, the Chargers have allowed the second-most passing yards
00:59 to opposing quarterbacks.
01:01 And Devonta Adams, well, he's still the clear alpha in this offense.
01:05 Since Week 9 with Aiden O'Connell under center, Adams is the first read 36 percent of the
01:10 time, and he's commanded 50 percent of the team's air yards with a 30 percent target
01:15 share.
01:16 He's averaging 65-and-a-half yards per game this season, and he had 75 yards the last
01:20 time these two teams faced off.
