The loss of Dont'a Hightower is huge. The Chargers have covered each of their road games, and come in on a three-game win streak overall. Take the points.
After losing their first four games, the Chargers have won their last three and they've been aided by an improved defense with the best pair of bookend pass rushers in the league. The Patriots still have the worst statistical defense in the NFL thanks to a rough first four weeks, but the Belichick changes are obvious in the last three -- all which stayed Under the total. Under is the play here.
I was on the Patriots last Sunday night for their beatdown of the Falcons, and I'm expecting another dominant home performance here. In my simulations, New England is winning by double digits and covering 59 percent of the time. Don't get caught up in the Chargers' three-game win streak -- they were fortunate to win two of those. Lay the points.
