It has been 54 years since the Chargers won back-to-back road games against New England. That is something to consider when it comes to the Patriots vs Chargers betting tips.

BetUS Sportsbook has the visiting Chargers listed as a 4-point favorite with -226 odds to win the game outright on Saturday. New England comes in at +191 to pull off the upset.

Patriots vs Chargers Picks: 3 Best Bets

1. Los Angeles Chargers ML (-226)

The Chargers are 4-1 both outright and against the NFL spread as a road favorite this season with four of those games landing under the total.

Dating back to last year, the Patriots have lost eight of their last nine games as a home favorite.

The Patriots were a home underdog just three times from 2006 to 2019. This will be the 13th time during the 2023 and 2024 seasons that New England will be the home underdog. They have won just two of those games and covered in three of those matchups.

When making NFL predictions, go with the Chargers to seal the deal.

Bet on the Chargers ML (-226)

 

2. Chargers vs Patriots Over 42.5

The Chargers-Patriots game has one of the lowest totals among the Week 17 games. The Patriots have been eliminated from the playoffs and can play pressure-free in this game, so perhaps rookie quarterback Drake Maye will be given the green light to sling things around after the Patriots almost upset the Buffalo Bills in Week 16.

The Chargers may be getting running back J.K. Dobbins back soon as they opened the 21-day window for Dobbins to come off injured reserve. Check the NFL injury updates to see if Dobbins will be back this weekend.

Justin Herbert has attempted at least 30 passes in five of his last six games. He helped the Chargers match their season-high with 34 points in last week’s win over Denver.

Bet online for this game to land over the 42.5-point total.

3. First Score In Chargers-Patriots Game Won’t Be A TD (+104)

The low total is an indication that the Chargers-Patriots clash probably won’t be one of the highest-scoring games in Week 17.

New England kicker Joey Slye has attempted seven more field goals than extra points this season and that speaks volumes about the type of season it has been for the Patriots.

Cameron Dicker of the Chargers became the first NFL player in nearly 50 years to successfully connect on a free kick following a fair catch and is one of the best kickers in the NFL.

There is some risk involved but why not go with the +104 NFL prop odds for the first score in the Chargers-Patriots game not to be a touchdown.

A Chargers vs Patriots best bet could be for the first score in the game not to be a touchdown.

Bet on the the first score in the Chargers-Patriots game not being a touchdown (+104)
