Analyst Jason Ence predicts the Los Angeles Chargers will clinch an AFC playoff spot by defeating the struggling New England Patriots on Saturday.
With a chance to clinch a playoff spot, Jason Ence believes the Chargers have enough on both sides of the football to beat the lowly Patriots. Find out more as he breaks down his early lean for this critical contest on Saturday.The Los Angeles Chargers will look to clinch an AFC playoff spot when they travel to face the New England Patriots on Saturday. A big win over the Broncos this weekend puts the Chargers in a spot to control their own destiny, and my Chargers vs.
Patriots prediction is that they clinch that spot. The Chargers finally found their defense. The Chargers roared back from a 24-13 deficit after halftime after the defense forced three straight punts from the Denver Broncos on Thursday night. Justin Herbert led touchdowns drives on two of the three ensuing drives, and Denver managed just three points in the final 24 minutes of the game. The Patriots are still trying to figure out how things fell apart on Sunday. The Patriots hit the Buffalo Bills with body blows in the first half, taking a 14-0 lead on the road early in the second quarter. But they wouldn’t find the endzone again until the final two minutes, and some head-scratching coaching decisions led to a fifth-straight defeat. Only the lowly New York Jets have come into Foxborough this season and left without a win, and the three teams the Patriots have defeated this season have a combined record of 15-30 record. They’re coming off an emotional letdown against a division rival, and have nothing left to play for but pride. Since the start of Week 12, the Buccaneers rank second in the NFL in early down rush EPA and fourth in offensive success rate. It was a key reason they were able to hurt the Charger defense, as they stayed ahead of the chains and limited the pass rush ability on later downs. The Patriots rank eighth in that timespan in early down offensive success rate, but just 15th in rush EP
