The stage is set. The Las Vegas Raiders host the LA Chargers in the last game of the 2021 regular season with massive implications on the line. The winner of this game will make the playoffs, the loser will miss the playoffs and make way for the Pittsburgh Steelers. A tie results in both teams getting into the playoffs, but let's be honest, that won't happen (or at least on purpose).
This game has the potential to be the most-viewed NFL game of the season with all of the implications on the line. Of course, there are also going to be a lot of people betting on this game, whether it is via the spread or via prop bets.

Best prop bets to make for Sunday Night Football matchup between LA Chargers and Las Vegas Raiders:
1. Justin Herbert OVER 277.5 passing yards (-125)
We don't want to pick anything that has too much juice on it. We could tell you to hammer Justin Herbert over 1.5 passing touchdowns but at -225 odds, it just is not worth it. Instead, we should target the bet that has less juice attached in Herbert's passing yards.
This is the biggest game of Justin Herbert's career and he has shined under the brightest lights every time he gets the chance to in his NFL career. Primetime Justin Herbert is absolutely a real thing and with the Raiders' beat up secondary, this has all the makings of being a big night for Herbert.

If there is anyone that knows this defense it is Justin Herbert. Herbert practiced against Gus Bradley's defense all season last year and if there is one thing we know about Bradley it is that he does not make many defensive adjustments.
