The pre-game read
Los Angeles was upset 26-14 by Arizona at home in Week 1, a humbling result for Jim Harbaugh's squad. Las Vegas beat Miami 27-13 with Kirk Cousins and Ashton Jeanty looking solid, but the Dolphins are a rebuilding team. Justin Herbert is 8-3 career against the Raiders and 4-0 under Harbaugh. Brock Bowers is doubtful for Las Vegas, removing a key weapon. The Chargers are at home at SoFi and desperate to avoid 0-2. The bounce-back factor after a poor Week 1 for a talented Chargers roster, combined with Herbert's dominance in this rivalry, gives LA the edge despite their opener.
