Ok, it\u2019s not so much that these two teams are awful; it\u2019s just that they\u2019re underachieving at an alarming rate. The Patriots squeezed by the hapless Niners last weekend, while the Chargers lost to \u2013 gasp! \u2013 the Dolphins. But hey, it\u2019s not like the Patriots didn\u2019t get their asses handed to them by the riley Fins either, right? <\/p>\n
Philip Rivers has been a strong quarterback, utilizing his deep wide receiver set to punish opposing secondaries. The Chargers have raised their passing yards average by 30+ yards this season, cruising at 226.6 aerial yards per game. If anything, it\u2019s due to the talent that they have at receiver. If we know anything about the Patriots\u2019 secondary, it\u2019s that it\u2019s smart\u2026and very slow. Rivers should be able to capitalize.<\/p>\n
While scoring hasn\u2019t been a problem for the Chargers, who put up 29.6 points per game, it\u2019s been an issue with the New England Patriots. <\/a>Matt Cassell has shown everyone exactly why he hadn\u2019t started since high school. Laurence Maroney, meanwhile, has been atrocious this season, proving exactly why he needed Marion Barber while the two were at Minnesota together.<\/p>\n NFL Betting Trends<\/strong><\/p>\n -New England 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games For years the Patriots have had the Chargers\u2019 number, decimating them in the last three meetings. I just want you to remember two things about this particular game. First, Tom Brady is not at the helm for the Patriots. Without him, they went from the best offense in 2007, to 24th in scoring and 19th in passing.<\/p>\n The other thing you have to keep in mind is that the last time San Diego played at home this season, they embarrassed the New York Jets 48-29. With or without the hobbled Chris Chambers, this team can put up points in bunches, and New England doesn\u2019t have the defense to stop them.<\/p>\n New England Patriots (3-1) vs. San Diego Chargers (2-3)<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Sunday, October 12th — Qualcomm Stadium, San Diego — 8:15pm EST<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n NFL Betting Line<\/strong>: San Diego -4.5 (44)<\/p>\n Don\u2019t be fooled or lulled by the Patriots just yet. They have a soft schedule, having faced four brutal teams this season. The betting trend I\u2019m concentrating on most is that New England got demolished by Miami and barely beat the Jets. San Diego barely lost to Miami and throttled the Jets\u2026and now they\u2019re at home. Don\u2019t get caught up in the history of this rivalry. This one is easier than you\u2019re making it out to be.<\/p>\n ——————————————————<\/p>\n NFL Sunday Night Preview for the matchup between the Patriots of New England and the San Diego Chargers, on NBC’s Sunday night football.
