In their upcoming Week 1 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers, the Las Vegas Raiders find themselves as three-point underdogs on FanDuel Sportsbook. However, the Raiders may be a strong bet, especially considering the challenges faced by Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert during training camp.

Although recent reports state that Herbert is fully recovered from his injury and ready to play, there are still lingering concerns. Head coach Jim Harbaugh confirmed that Herbert being listed on the team's injury report was a result of pressure from the NFL. While the young quarterback has participated in practice and been on the field since August 19, he missed a significant portion of training camp due to a plantar fascia injury.

The Chargers have undergone considerable changes during the offseason, hiring Harbaugh as their head coach and bringing on Greg Roman, his old offensive coordinator with the San Francisco 49ers. As part of this new regime, the Chargers let go of their top receivers Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, as well as running back Austin Ekeler and tight end Gerald Everett.

Although the Chargers do have wideout Joshua Palmer returning, the majority of their receiving corps is comprised of new faces, including rookie second-round pick Ladd McConkey, wide receiver DJ Chark, and tight end Will Dissly. With Herbert missing valuable practice time and limited chemistry with his new weapons, it is reasonable to expect some rustiness, especially in a new offensive system.

While Herbert has experience working with different coaching staffs in the past, the transition to Roman's offense presents new challenges. Roman has a history of relying on running quarterbacks, such as Alex Smith, Colin Kaepernick, Tyrod Taylor, and Lamar Jackson. However, it remains to be seen if Herbert's foot injury will limit his mobility and restrict the playbook's utilization of his running abilities.

With the talented Raider defensive line featuring standouts like Maxx Crosby and Christian Wilkins, the Chargers' offense could face significant challenges in their Week 1 matchup. This further indicates that the Raiders, as a field goal underdog, might be a promising bet. Additionally, considering the potential limitations in the Chargers' offense due to Herbert's missed time and recent injury, the under bet at 40.5 points on FanDuel Sportsbook also appears appealing.

As the NFL season kicks off, all eyes will be on the intriguing Week 1 matchup between the Las Vegas Raiders and the Los Angeles Chargers. With the Raiders' potential value as underdogs and the uncertainties surrounding Herbert's readiness, fans and bettors alike will be eagerly awaiting the outcome of this exciting game.
