The Week 2 Monday Night Football doubleheader wraps up with an AFC West showdown when the Los Angeles Chargers take on the Las Vegas Raiders in Las Vegas.

Both teams are coming off wins, and the Chargers made an early claim as an elite team when it knocked off Kansas City in Brazil. The Raiders came from behind to beat New England in its opener, but it comes into this game as a home underdog.

ESPN will carry the game, which could have a slight overlap with the game before it between Tampa and Houston.

Bet MGM: Take the Raiders With the Points vs Chargers

Nick Hennion writes: “Based on the early success of divisional underdogs and the fact that Las Vegas sits north of a key number, my Raiders vs Chargers prediction is the Raiders Spread (+3.5, -105). Initially, I wanted to wait on Vegas. Brock Bowers sustained an injury at New England, but the star tight end said after Sunday’s game he’ll play against the Chargers. With that concern alleviated, I’ll buy the Raiders at +3.5 against a divisional rival that swept Vegas last season.”

Sportsnaut: Chargers 31, Raiders 28

Matt Johnson writes: “Closing out the NFL schedule in Week 2, it’s an AFC West duel between two teams feeling good after season-opening wins. Geno Smith played well in his Las Vegas Raiders‘ debut and Maxx Crosby certainly can’t wait to face Chargers’ backup tackle Trey Pipkins III on Monday Night Football. On the other side of the field, Los Angeles is riding high after beating Kansas City. It’ll be another MVP-caliber performance from Justin Herbert, with the Chargers’ passing game dicing up the Raiders’ secondary for multiple scoring drives, including the game-winning push in the closing minutes.”
