The Los Angeles Chargers (3-8) are looking to dig themselves out of a hole after dropping their eighth game of the season last weekend to the Buffalo Bills.

Going into this weekend’s contest, the Chargers are favored by a point over the New England Patriots (5-6) in Week 13 of the regular season, per BetMGM.

After forcing three turnovers, Los Angeles had a few opportunities to jump out on top over Buffalo. But poor game management and clock management by coach Anthony Lynn held them back.

Meanwhile, New England put on a stellar defensive performance against the Arizona Cardinals, holding wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins just 55 yards receiving while quarterback Cam Newton struggled to find consistency.

Sunday’s matchup will begin at 1:25 p.m. PT and will be televised on CBS.
