Chargers vs. Patriots Props for Wild Card Weekend

Hunter Henry Under 44.5 Receiving Yards (-114)

This bet is one of my favorite Wild Card props as Sunday night's game is going to be a difficult matchup for Hunter Henry.

The Chargers are a solid defense. Our schedule-adjusted numbers rank the Bolts 10th overall and 10th versus the pass.

LA is particularly tough on tight ends. The Chargers held the TE position to just 42.2 receiving yards per game, the fourth-fewest. They also limited TEs to the fourth-fewest receptions per game (4.1). Not counting Week 18 when the Bolts sat several players, LA held Jake Ferguson and Dalton Schultz to only 19 yards apiece over the Chargers' final two regular season games.

Henry isn't a high-volume target, garnering 5.1 looks per game, so he's going to have to be efficient with whatever looks he gets, which should be challenging to do in this matchup.

Over his final four games of the season, Henry averaged 39.5 receiving yards per game. I'm backing him to go under 44.5 against LA.

K'Lavon Chaisson to Record a Sack (+134)

One of the key positional matchups in this game figures to be a Pats defensive front that struggled to generate sacks against a Chargers offensive line that was one of the worst in football.

I like the Pats' chances to produce a few sacks, and that leads me to this K'Lavon Chaisson bet.

While New England mustered the seventh-fewest sacks this year, they can take advantage of this matchup. PFF ranks the Chargers' offensive line 30th. Injuries have decimated the Bolts' front five as losing tackles Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt -- maybe the best tackle duo in the league -- has been too much to overcome.

Chaisson finished the campaign with 7.5 sacks, tops among the Patriots' currently healthy players. He tallied five QB hits over the past five weeks and should be able to have success in this matchup as the Chargers allowed the second-most sacks per game (3.5).
