This week’s picks

Derek Carr passing yards O/U: 274.5

■ Vincent Bonsignore: Over — The Raiders are going to take a handful of shots downfield and will hit on two or three. He will exceed his per-game average as a result.

■ Ed Graney: Under — Joey Bosa might have a lot to say about this and, well, a lot to say about everything. Also not sure if Carr’s hand isn’t still hurting.

■ Adam Hill: Under — The passing numbers have been down lately and the Chargers can be exploited on the ground.

■ Sam Gordon: Over — He hasn’t topped this mark since Thanksgiving. But it’s the most consequential game of the season. The Raiders’ fate would seem to rest on his right arm.

■ Heidi Fang: Over — I think Carr will chip away, picking up yards on short passes.

Josh Jacobs rushing yards O/U: 58.5

■ Vincent Bonsignore: Over — The Raiders have gotten into a better flow with the run game. Jacobs is dealing with a rib injury, but he’ll be good to go.

■ Ed Graney: Under — All beat up and bruised, Jacobs has run behind what has been an improved offensive front in recent weeks. Just doubt the running back’s health is up to it.

■ Adam Hill: Over — The Raiders should attack the Chargers’ woeful run defense, so the only question is how long Jacobs can stay on the field with his rib injury.

■ Sam Gordon: Over — Jacobs has averaged 19.3 carries in his last three games, suggesting he’ll have the workload necessary to eclipse this number. Plus, the Chargers sport one of the league’s worst run defenses.

■ Heidi Fang: Over — Last game was around 60 yards. I think he’ll eclipse that.

Justin Herbert passing yards O/U: 278.5

■ Vincent Bonsignore: Over — The Chargers like to light it up in the pass game. Herbert is one of the best young quarterbacks in the game.

■ Ed Graney: Under — He threw for three touchdowns and 222 yards in a 28-14 victory over the Raiders in October. Doesn’t need to get this many to win.

■ Adam Hill: Over — The Chargers will want the ball in the hands of their best player with the season on the line.

■ Sam Gordon: Over — He’s averaging 289.4 yards per game this season. The importance of the game suggests he’ll be a crucial part of it.

■ Heidi Fang: Over — I think the two QBs will duel it out.

Austin Ekeler rushing yards O/U: 56.5

■ Vincent Bonsignore: Over — But not by many. The Raiders go into Sunday determined to make sure Ekeler does not hurt them like he did in the first meeting.

■ Ed Graney: Over — I think they rely on him even more than usual to win this one. Now watch the guy go career lows in carries and yards.

■ Adam Hill: Under — He has ceded some carries to some of the other backs while becoming even more integral to the passing game.

■ Sam Gordon: Under — Ekeler is one of the best all-around running backs in the league. But the Raiders have been relatively stout stopping the run. He could play a bigger role as a receiver.

■ Heidi Fang: Under — I think the bulk of his yardage will be receiving yards.

Keenan Allen receiving yards O/U: 72.5

■ Vincent Bonsignore: Under — The Raiders’ game plan will be to slow down Allen.

■ Ed Graney: Under — See comment about Herbert. Pressure often means conservative. If the Chargers get a lead, expect Ekeler, not Allen, to benefit.

■ Adam Hill: Over — The ball will be flying all over the field. Allen is as dependable as it gets.

■ Sam Gordon: Over — Old reliable. He’s eclipsed the 100-catch plateau yet again. His precise route running should help him find holes in Gus Bradley’s zone coverage schemes.

■ Heidi Fang: Over — I can see either Allen or Mike Williams going over the 80-yard mark.
