Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing.
Drake Maye, the potential MVP of the league, is set to make his playoff debut on Sunday Night versus a stingy Chargers defense. While Drake Maye is putting up historic passing rating and completion percentage numbers, the Chargers rank #1 in the NFL in passer rating allowed – Something has to give. So, we’re going to back Maye finding the endzone with his legs, as he ranked top 5 amongst quarterbacks in rushing yards and attempts during the regular season.

Chargers vs Patriots TD scorer pick: Ladd McConkey (+250)
Odds available at BetMGM Sportsbook at time of publishing.
The sophomore slump hit Ladd McConkey and fellow 2nd year wideouts hard. Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas weren’t as lucky as McConkey, who wasn’t a full disappointment. He scored 6 touchdowns during the regular season, while holding a near 20% target share – 2nd on the team behind veteran Kennan Allen. But the encouraging argument for McConkey to score on Sunday Night is that he’s run the most routes for the Chargers this season. In a likely trailing game script, expect Herbert to look for his favorite target over the last two seasons.
