NFL Thursday Night Football Player Prop Bet Odds & Picks (Week 15): Chargers vs. Raiders

by |

We get a battle between AFC West foes tonight, but at this point, there isn’t much at stake for either team.

The Raiders had a good start with Antonio Pierce as the head coach, but they’ve now dropped three straight. Injuries continue to deplete the Chargers, and they’ve now lost Keenan Allen for at least this week and Justin Herbert for the rest of the year.

Let’s break down the best player props for this “Thursday Night Football” divisional tilt.

NFL Week 15 Thursday Night Football Player Props

(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)

Austin Ekeler Over  29.5 Receiving Yards (-113)

With Easton Stick starting and Allen out, Austin Ekeler will be the focus of this offense. He's having a down year but is coming off a 107-reception season. The Raiders are average against receiving running backs, allowing 6.6 yards per catch. This will be a great volume play.

Aidan O'Connell Over 194.5 Passing Yards (-113)

Aidan O'Connell is trying to prove himself and have the starting job for next year. It hasn't been his best effort so far this season, averaging 195 yards per game with four touchdowns and seven picks. This could be one of his better performances against the Chargers, who have one of the worst pass defenses in the league. They've allowed over 300 passing yards in seven games this year.

Michael Mayer Over 19.5 (-113)

Micahel Mayer has steadily seen his role increase as the season rolls on, and the rookie has a lot of potential with his size and ability to be a dependable pass catcher. He's struggled the last few weeks, but he faced the Chiefs and Vikings, who are in the bottom 12 in receiving yards allowed to tight ends. He now faces the Chargers, who have allowed the fifth-most receiving yards to the position.
