The New England Patriots are still in the mix for a playoff spot in the AFC, but they need a victory on the road against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday to keep pace with the teams in the wild card race.
The Pats enter their Week 13 matchup with the Chargers at 5-6 and sit two games behind the Miami Dolphins and Indianapolis Colts for the last two wild card berths in the AFC.
Oddsmakers like the Patriots' chances of beating the Chargers, but not by much. New England is favored by just a single point.
