The Patriots have faced some injury challenges. Mack Hollins and Antonio Gibson are among those on the injured reserve list. Despite these setbacks, the team remains strong as they enter the postseason.
PPH Betting Prediction
The Chargers have a strong defense. They allowed the fewest points this season, ranking first in opponent score. This could be a big factor against the Patriots, who struggle offensively.
New England’s offense ranks low in both passing yards and overall scoring. They are 32nd in passing yards and 28th in scoring. The Chargers’ defense might exploit these weaknesses.
While the Patriots are favored, the Chargers’ defensive stats suggest they can keep the game close. The +3.5 spread for the Chargers provides a buffer. This spread is appealing given the defensive edge of the Chargers.
- Pick: Chargers +3.5 (-109)
