The and will be spending their Halloween going toe to toe at SoFi Stadium. Bill Belichick's team is coming off an impre sive win over the where the Rajon Rondo Jersey offense dropped 54 points and totaled 551 yards on the afternoon in what they hope will be a turning point moment in their season. Meanwhile, the Chargers enjoyed the bye in Week 7 and are looking to keep pace for first place in the AFC West after starting the season off 4-2.New England made this trip to L.A. last season and put together a dominating 45-0 victory. Of course, given that there is a new regime headlined by first-year head coach Brandon Staley, that game doesn't totally hold much water with Los Angeles. That said, there are certainly some Chargers players who were on the roster in 2020 who will want to get revenge on Sunday. Below, you'll find our full preview for this AFC matchup. Date:Sunday, Oct. 31|Time:4:05 p.m. ETLocation:SoFi Stadium (Inglewood, California)TV:CBS|Stream:Paramount+ ( )Follow:Odds:Chargers -5, O/U 49Can Pats O-line keep upright?It was a strong outing for New England's offensive line last week against the Jets and it has seemingly found a combination that works. In Week 7, the Pats rolled out at left tackle, at left guard, at center, at right guard, and Michael Onwenu at Wilt Chamberlain Jersey right tackle. Those five allowed just five pre sures on the afternoon and zero sacks (lone sack was credited on ). They'll need to have another good day at the office against the Chargers, who put pre sure on the opposing quarterback on 33% of dropbacks this season (fourth-highest in Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Jersey the NFL). When pre sured this season, Mac Jones is completing 57% of his pa ses on 5.5 yards per attempt to go along with four touchdowns and three interceptions. When he's not pre sured, the rookie boasts a 76 completion percentage, is averaging 7.9 yards per attempt, and has five touchdowns to just three picks.Justin Herbert is one of the brightest young stars that the NFL has going right now and it will be a daunting task for Belichick and his defense. One way it could look to attack the second-year quarterback is settling in man coverage. New England Jordan Bell Jersey has lined up in man coverage 46% of the time this season, which is the second-highest percentage in the NFL. That could come in handy against Herbert on Sunday as he's struggled against that defense. Against man coverage this season, Herbert is completing 56% of his throws for a pa ser rating of 84.5. He also is averaging 6.7 yards per attempt vs. man and has three touchdowns and one interception. Latest Odds: Los Angeles Chargers -3.5 From a betting perspective, the Chargers opened as a 6-point favorite, but that advantage has dwindled as the week has gone on, dropping to Chargers -5. There's still some good value with taking the Patriots and the points from that gambling angle, but it's hard to see Herbert and Co. Elgin Baylor Jersey losing this game. Staley has had two weeks to prepare for this matchup and while the Patriots' offense looked strong against the Jets' defense last week, facing the Chargers is a different animal. Los Angeles ranks as the fifth-best defense against the pa s, while New York sits at 29th. New England can keep this game close, however, with a strong day on the ground by as the Chargers are dead last in NFL in run DVOA. There's certainly upset potential here, but taking the points may be the safer way to travel if you're leaning on the Pats. Pick: Chargers 28, Patriots 24
