NFL Week 17 features Saturday games on the schedule. The Los Angeles Chargers head to the Northeast to take on the New England Patriots. The Chargers are looking to inch towards clinching a playoff spot. Meanwhile, the Patriots look to continue developing Drake Maye as the starting quaterback. Here are the Chargers at Patriots Preview and Predictions.
Good news for the Los Angeles Chargers on the injury front as they activated J.K. Dobbins from the IR. Additionally, Will Dissly has been a limited participcant in practice this week leading up to the game on Saturday. Furthermore, linebacker Denzel Perryman continues to be a DNP this week and looks like he will miss the game.
Meanwhile, for the Patriots, two players in the secondary are injured and not practicing for the Patriots in cornerback Marcus Jones and safety Kyle Dugger.
Chargers at Patriots Preview and Predictions
Best Bets
The Los Angeles Chargers are coming off a mini bye as they played on Thursday Night Football in Week 15. This gives Chargers extended rest and plenty of time to get ready for a road game here. This game feels like a coaching mismatch between Harbaugh and Mayo. You also have a team from California traveling to the cold Northeast.
Thus far this season, the Chargers as a road favorite are 3-1 SU and 3-1 ATS. Further, the Chargers have not allowed more than 17 points in those spots. Meanwhile, the Patriots are 1-5 SU and 2-3-1 ATS at home this season. In a game where the Chargers need to win I would expect them to be ready in this game and inch closer towards a playoff spot.
Best Bet: Chargers -4
Player Prop Best Bet
Hunter Henry Over 43.5 Receiving Yards
We all love a good revenge narrative right? Hunter Henry goes up against this former team this week at home. The Chargers this season are allowing 45.7 receiving yards per game. However, Hunter Henry has been a monster at home this season on raking up the yardage. He is averaging 60.8 receiving yards per game at home and has exceeded this projection in four home games this season.
