The Los Angeles Chargers (9-6) travel east to face off against the New England Patriots (3-12) on Saturday of NFL Week 17. Kickoff is slated for 1:00 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on NFL Network.
Let's look at a pair of Chargers vs Patriots props on the New England side.
Chargers vs. Patriots Player Props
- Rhamondre Stevenson Over 42.5 Rushing Yards (-113, FanDuel)
- Kendrick Bourne Over 21.5 Receiving Yards (-115, DraftKings)
Rhamondre Stevenson Over 42.5 Rushing Yards (-113)
By Grant Neiffer
Even with Antonio Gibson back, Stevenson should get a large share of New England's rushing offense.
The matchup here isn't bad with the Chargers being a middle-of-the-pack defense vs. the rush this season and one of the better pass defenses in the league. I expect the Patriots to rely heavily on Stevenson as they look to keep the pressure off Drake Maye. Also, this should be a spot where the Patriots aren't forced to move the ball through the air as the spread is just four points.

Kendrick Bourne Over 21.5 Receiving Yards (-115)
By Matt Trebby
Kendrick Bourne has been Drake Maye’s most consistent target among Patriots wide receivers this season. In his last six games, Bourne has 21 receptions on 24 targets.
In Week 15, Bourne only ran 14 routes, but he bounced back with 32 last week against the Bills, which were his second most of the season. Here, we’re betting on another Patriots trailing game script and for Maye to keep looking Bourne’s way.
Bourne had gone over this total in five straight games before only getting 18 receiving yards last week. This week, Sean Koerner is projecting Bourne for 28.5 receiving yards, while Chris Raybon has him pegged for 24.6. I’d play this over up to 23.5.
