Patriots Open As Favorite For Wild Card Matchup With Chargers
The New England Patriots are the No. 2 seed in the AFC. The Los Angeles Chargers are the No. 7 seed in the AFC.
If you can’t figure out what we’re getting at, it might be time to get out from underneath that rock.
New England will host Los Angeles in the wild-card round of the playoffs next weekend, with the former entering that time-to-be-determined matchup as slight favorites at both DraftKings Sportsbook and FanDuel Sportsbook.
Betting Lines
DraftKings Sportsbook: Patriots -3.5 | O/U 45.5
FanDuel Sportsbook: Patriots -3.5 | O/U 45.5
The Patriots will have the benefit of playing at home, which is enough to swing the point spread beyond that of a field goal. The Chargers will enter the postseason as underdogs for the second consecutive season, though they’re looking for a better result as they were thoroughly dismantled last season.
The NFL will announce the full playoff schedule following the conclusion of the regular season’s final game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens,
