The oddsmakers expect the Patriots to drop to 3-13 on the year.
The New England Patriots return home for the final two games of their 2024 campaign. But even though they will exclusively be playing at Gillette Stadium to close out the season, their chances of adding to their win total seem slim: the Patriots will welcome the Los Angeles Chargers and Buffalo Bills to Foxboro in Weeks 17 and 18.
The first of those games will come on Saturday, and according to FanDuel Sportsbook will once again end in disappointment for New England.
Odds for Patriots vs. Chargers in NFL Week 17
- Spread: Chargers -5.5
- Moneyline: Patriots +194 | Chargers -235
- Over/under: 43.5
Whereas the Patriots are 3-13 and headed straight toward a top-2 selection in next year’s draft, the 9-6 Chargers are fighting to secure a playoff spot. A win on Saturday would allow L.A. to continue its season for at least another week.
Kickoff between the two founding members of the old AFL will take place at 1 p.m. ET on December 28.
