Week 1 NFL picks for Raiders vs. Chargers
Before tuning into Sunday's Chargers vs. Raiders game, you need to see the NFL picks from SportsLine's advanced computer model. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up over $7,500 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters the 2022 NFL season on an incredible 138-97 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season. Amazingly, it hasn't missed a top-rated pick since Week 15 of last season.
The model also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the past six years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 94% of CBS Sports Football Pick'em players four times during that span. Anyone who has followed it is way up.
For Chargers vs. Raiders, the model is backing Los Angeles to cover. A major factor in Sunday's game will be how well each team's passing game performs. Vegas' offensive flow will rely on how quickly Adams can connect with new quarterback and former college teammate Derek Carr. L.A'.s defense will be shorthanded with J.C. Jackson still sidelined after ankle surgery. But if the Chargers' defense with Mack can put pressure on Carr early, it can stop the Raiders from easily moving the ball downfield.
Las Vegas has a strong defense themselves, led by Maxx Crosby and Chandler Jones. However, the Raiders' secondary ranked just 26th in the league last season after allowing an average 5.2 yards per offensive play through 17 games. Quick-thinking quarterbacks give them trouble, and if Justin Herbert has enough room to work early in the game, Vegas could be in serious trouble.
