The Tampa Bay Buccaneers travel to Los Angeles to take on the Chargers in Week 15. 

Both teams need a win as they are in the thick of their respective conference's playoff picture. Each offense has plenty of playmakers, making for some intriguing prop bets. Here our are top ones for this matchup.

*Odds subject to change

Chargers QB Justin Herbert OVER 1.5 touchdown passes (-103) – Caesars Sportsbook

Herbert is playing as well as any quarterback in the NFL right now with a 14-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio. He is carrying the Chargers' offense on his back as starting running back J.K. Dobbins will remain on injured reserve for a couple of more weeks.

Wide receiver Ladd McConkey should be returning from a shoulder injury this week, giving Herbert a huge boost in the passing game. Herbert will face a Buccaneers defense that ranks 30th in the league against the pass this week.

Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield UNDER 1.5 passing touchdowns (-130) – BetMGM

Mayfield is having a solid season overall, but has a tough matchup this week against a great Chargers secondary that ranks eighth against the pass. It also is allowing the second-least amount of yards per completion at 6.6.

Mayfield has thrown multiple touchdowns in just one of his last four games, and has also been struggling with interceptions – throwing four in his last two games. 

Chargers TE Stone Smartt ANYTIME touchdown (+350) – bet365

Smartt was finally given an opportunity to make an impact for the Chargers' offense last week against the Kansas City Chiefs, and made the most of it by catching three passes on three targets for 54 yards.

Starting tight end Will Dissly is out for this game, paving the way for Smartt to really have a breakout performance. He'll have a great matchup against a Buccaneers' defense that has allowed the fourth-most receptions and second-most yards to the tight end position this year, as well as five touchdowns.

Buccaneers RB Rachaad White ANYTIME touchdown (+130) – DraftKings

It appears that Bucky Irving will give it a go in this game despite battling back and hip injuries, but White could be the lead back to keep Irving fresh. White played well when Irving went down last week, racking up 109 total yards and two touchdowns. He has found the endzone five times over his last five games and is a threat both as a runner and a receiver.
