A passing game script is suggested by the Patriots being a -4.5-point underdog this week.Based on the game dynamics and the underlying approaches of each team, this contest is expected by the projections to have 134.7 plays on offense called: the most among all games this week.The Los Angeles Chargers defense has been a prominent pass funnel this year, leading opposing QBs to attempt the 2nd-most passes in football (40.2 per game) this year.The predictive model expects Tyquan Thornton to be a more important option in his team's pass game in this week's contest (13.5% projected Target Share) than he has been this year (8.2% in games he has played).This year, the feeble Los Angeles Chargers defense has yielded a monstrous 193.0 adjusted receiving yards per game vs. opposing wide receivers: the 3rd-most in the league.
