The Chargers are looking to climb to the fifth seed in the AFC when they face the rival Raiders on Sunday afternoon. Justin Herbert has had an impressive bounce-back campaign, helping get the franchise back on track.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, Los Angeles is currently a 14-point favorite, with the game’s total set at 42.5 points. Below, I’ve detailed my favorite prop bet centered around Herbert for this divisional clash.
Best Justin Herbert Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Justin Herbert 1.5 Passing Touchdowns (+105)
LA is one of the few teams with an incentive to go all out in Week 18. A win would mean a date with Houston on Wild Card Weekend. The Texans currently have a negative point differential and are decimated by injuries. A loss sends the Chargers to Baltimore, winners of four straight with the best offense in the league. The choice for Justin Herbert and company is clear.
The University of Oregon product has struggled to stuff the stat sheet this year, only tossing for 21 touchdowns on the year. He is in the midst of a hot streak, throwing for multiple scores in three consecutive outings. The unit has an incentive to come firing out of the gates to get time to rest their starters toward the end of the contest.
Herbert should come out firing with the intention to wrap this contest up quickly. He’s an efficient gunslinger who still loves to push the ball vertically and hunt chunk plays. Against a familiar foe, 28th in EPA against the past, Herbert has all the tools to have a loud season finale.
