New England Patriots at San Diego Chargers
Time: 8:30 PM (ET) on NBC
Favorite: New England (open: 3 / current: 3.5 | over/under: 51)
Following a major loss last weekend to Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers, the New England Patriots are looking to obtain a big road victory to start December. Today, they travel down to So. Cal, for a national televised prime-time game against the surging San Diego Chargers. Following three consecutive victories, San Diego has quietly obtained the 3rd best record in the AFC, largely in due part to Ryan Matthews returning to their team.
The standout match-up to watch out for is obvious Darrelle Revis trying to stop Keenan Allen, as Phillip Rivers will have to rely on weapons to pull off a major upset tonight. New England never loses back-to-back games, but December is always Phillip Rivers month – so this one could go either way if the Patriots defense is struggling.
