This Raiders/Chargers game has the second highest o/u line out of the 15 games being played this week which means more stats. Austin Ekeler covered this line both games vs the Raiders last year averaging 122 total YPG. The beautiful part about a duel threat running back like Ekeler is that he'll touch the ball throughout the game regardless it just depends if it will be rushing or receiving. To start the season in 2021 Ekeler covered this line in 4 straight home games with 115, 145 (vs LVR), 119, and 124 yards. We're going rushing and receiving because he only covered his rushing yards in two of those games.
With the high over under in this game and Ekeler having little to no competition from his teammates in the backfield I bet he covers 95.5 Rush/Rec in Week 1 at home.
