The Pats come into the nightcap 3.5-point betting favorites - will Drake Maye win his first playoff game or will Justin Herbert have something to say about that? Let's dive in.

💰 Chargers vs. Patriots best prop bet: Drake Maye Under 242.5 passing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Follow all of our NFL analysis and betting advice for the 2026 NFL playoffs.

Maye has gone over this number in two of his last three games, yes, but the Chargers own a top-five passing defense and are going to make the MVP candidate work for his yards come Sunday night. We all know the Patriots have had one of the easiest schedules in football; there's going to be some type of adjustment period early on as Maye faces the toughest team he's seen this season. If the Pats jump ahead, watch them lean on their potent run game as the fourth quarter rolls around.

🔥 More Chargers vs. Patriots prop picks

Justin Herbert Over 225.5 passing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Herbert has gone over this number in two straight weeks, and the Chargers will likely need to rely on their star quarterback if they want to keep pace with New England. Yes, Los Angeles' struggling offensive line will make it difficult to cash this play, but I'm projecting Herbert to sit around 35 passing attempts, which should be enough volume for this Over to hit.

TreVeyon Henderson anytime touchdown (+130) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Henderson is a special running back and the Patriots are just beginning to unlock his true potential. Averaging close to 15 carries over his last couple of games, I'm expecting Henderson to get the bulk of the workload once more once Sunday night rolls around. The Patriots haven't had issues moving the ball this year, and Henderson is known for his explosive plays. At +130 betting odds, I'll take those chances.
