Chargers-Raiders Anytime Touchdown Bet: Josh Jacobs

Kenneth Murray ranks dead last in the NFL among linebackers at stopping the run. The Chargers’ other linebacker, Drue Tranquill, ranks 67th out of 82 linebackers in run defense, making this linebacker corps one of the worst in the NFL. Moving to their defensive line, there is no improvement. Defensive end Kyle Van Noy ranks 81st out of 109 ends against the run. Sebastian Joseph-Day ranks 96 out of 131 out of interior linemen, and Morgan Fox ranks 94th. This places the Chargers defensive line as the worst run-stopping front in football.

The Raiders are predominantly a run-heavy team, with Josh Jacobs leading the charge. He averages 5.4 yards per carry, which is seventh best in the NFL, and his nine touchdowns rushing are tied for fourth. Jacobs is also the league leader in yards rushing with 1,159 and has 31 runs of 10-plus yards. Raiders tackles Kolton Miller and Jermaine Eluemunor have a significant edge today in their matchups, as they are premier run-blocking tackles.

Bet on Jacobs, the league leader in yards, to have himself a day against this below-average Chargers run defense.
