Chargers vs Patriots odds, time, location, streaming, and more: Everything fans must know
By Jason Reed
The odds of the Chargers making the playoffs are slim to none while the New England Patriots are potentially angling for the first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. For those reasons, Week 13's Chargers-Patriots game is not as interesting as fans thought it was going to be when the schedule was birthed back in May.
While there is not much on the line for either team, both fanbases have a case of Stockholm Syndrome and will still tune into this game. Pats fans want to see if the team can lose to improve the odds of the first overall pick while Chargers fans still want to see Justin Herbert succeed (as well as see what silly thing Brandon Staley pulls).
And who knows, maybe Chargers fans will see the current head coach play the next head coach in Bill Belichick, as there is some speculation that Belichick could leave New England with the Chargers being a potential destination. It might not be for high stakes, but there are things to watch in this game. Let's get into everything fans need to know.
Chargers vs Patriots odds:
The Patriots are one of the few teams in the NFL that are bad enough for the Chargers to be road favorites against. The Bolts are six-point favorites on the road against New England, making them a -255 money line favorite. New England, meanwhile, is a +210 underdog. The point total for the game has been placed at 39.5 points.
