Result: Win
The New England Patriots will look to advance to the AFC Championship Game for the eighth year in a row when they take on the Los Angeles Chargers at Gillette Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The Patriots have posted a 6-1 ATS record in their last seven Divisional Round games and they have gone 13-3 ATS in their last sixteen games following a straight up win by fourteen points or more. The New England Patriots have been a little up and down during the regular season but finished at 11-5 and are always a threat in the post season. The Pats have had a top five offense all season long and as usual have a very balanced game plan with running and passing both remaining strengths for them. Gronk comes into this game healthy and rested and so does Tom Brady. The New England defense remains one of the best in the league and they come into this game allowing an average of only 20.3 points per game. Take the Patriots to get the win and cover at home in this one as they are the better team by a significant margin and with home field advantage, they are in a great spot to survive and advance.
