The Patriots are all set to host the Chargers this Saturday in what will be their penultimate matchup of the season.
With rookie quarterback Drake Maye under center, the Patriots have shown flashes of competitiveness despite their overall struggles this year. Sporting a 6-8-1 record, the team has played exclusively as underdogs throughout the season and will aim to close out their campaign with back-to-back home games.
Following this weekend’s clash, they’ll wrap up the year against the Buffalo Bills, though the exact timing for that matchup is still to be determined.
Currently in control of their postseason destiny, the Chargers will need to execute on the road to stay on course. It will also be their second consecutive season traveling to New England, with the team having secured a narrow 6-0 win in a defensive battle last December.
Notably, trends for both teams offer an intriguing subplot. The Patriots have seen the total go over in five of their six home games this season, while the Chargers have consistently leaned under, with six of their seven road contests falling below the points line.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Patriots vs. Chargers, including TV channel and live stream options for the game.
