The Los Angeles Chargers are 4-point road favorites over the New England Patriots in Week 17 of the 2024 regular season. The over/under is 42.5 points, per BetMGM Sportsbook.
That means oddsmakers are taking bets on whether the two teams will combine to score more than or fewer than 42 points.
My score prediction for the game is a 24-14 win for the Chargers, with a total of 38 points. So, if I were putting money based on my prediction, I’d bet the under.
As for game picks, analysts believe Los Angeles will clinch a playoff spot this weekend.
