The Pats are looking to win a modern-day Super Bowl without Tom Brady, and their playoff journey starts against the LA Chargers in Foxborough.
Los Angeles Chargers (11-6) at New England Patriots (14-3)
The Chargers had a rocky end to the season with 2 straight defeats and starting QB Justin Herbert is playing with a broken hand. So that will make things very interesting. They did have a strong road record, winning 5 of 8, so that should give them some confidence. If Herbert is limited in the pass game, they'll look to their running game which has had success this season.
The Pats are back into the playoffs as AFC East champs and will look to continue the momentum into the playoffs at home against the Chargers. Drake Maye had an MVP-type season, leading the Patriots to 28.8 points per game, and they rank in the top 4 for passing yards. But their running game is also strong, between the speed of Henderson and the strength of Stevenson. The defence has also been dominant under Mike Vrabel. They allow just 18 points per game and rank inside the top 10 for both passing and rushing yards allowed.
Leg #1 - Under 47.5
The trends are pointing towards a low-scoring playoff game. The Chargers have an injured QB and will likely lean on the running game. The Under has also gone 4-1 in their last 5 games and they have struggled in Foxborough, losing 3 of their last 15. New England has a solid defence and should also look to run the ball, which should keep the scoreline under 47.5
Leg #2 - TreVeyon Henderson 50+ Rushing Yards
Henderson has big play ability and could rattle off 50+ rushing yards in one play if he finds a hole in the Chargers defence. He's also gone over 50+ yards in 4 of his last 5 games.
Leg #3 - Drake Maye 200+ Passing Yards
Maye is coming off an impressive second season in the NFL and should be able to get past 200+ pass yards in his first playoff game. He comes off beating 200+ passing yards in 3 of his last 5 games and he ranks 4th in the NFL for total passing yards this season.
Same Game Multi
Under 47.5 / TreVeyon Henderson 50+ Rushing Yards / Drake Maye 200+ Passing Yards = $8.00
Value Leg - Rhamondre Stevenson Anytime Touchdown Scorer
Stevenson has scored 4 rushing TD's and 2 receiving TD's in back to back games. He offers great value to get into the endzone.
