NFL Week 2 kicks off with an exciting AFC West matchup between the Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs. Here are four data-backed prop bets to consider for Thursday Night Football:

Justin Herbert Over 280.5 Passing Yards (-113)

• Herbert threw for 279 yards and 3 TDs in Week 1 vs Raiders
• Likely needs big passing numbers to keep pace with Mahomes
• Strong value given projected game script and shootout potential

Chargers Team Total Over 2.5 Touchdowns (-154)

• High-scoring affair expected between two explosive offenses
• Herbert capable of 3+ passing TDs alone
• Both teams likely to push pace in potential shootout

Shortest TD Over 1.5 Yards (+120)

• Profitable odds at +120
• Only needs to avoid 1-yard touchdowns
• Good value considering scoring variety in modern NFL

Austin Ekeler Under 38.5 Receiving Yards (-112)

• Had 36 receiving yards in Week 1 victory
• Even with Allen injured, receiving volume may be limited
• Reasonable line based on recent usage patterns
