Drake Maye will rise to meet the challenge.

The New England Patriots won't back down against the Los Angeles Chargers, and the young quarterback will do whatever it takes, particularly on the ground, to push his team into the next round of the NFL playoffs.

Here are my best Chargers vs. Patriots same-game parlay and NFL picks for our Chargers vs. Patriots predictions on Sunday, January 11.

Our best Chargers vs Patriots SGP for Wild Card Weekend

The half-point hook on New England Patriots -3.5 is enough to push me toward the moneyline. I believe New England wins what will be a grinder of a game, especially with the Los Angeles Chargers having to play in the cold in Foxborough.

Drake Maye’s rushing attempts were tempered down the stretch, as the team tried to protect him for the postseason. However, with everything on the line, New England unleashes Maye. His rushing yards projections sit as high as 31 yards.

The Chargers are extremely tough to pass against and tighten up in the red zone. That leaves Maye to do it himself when things break down close to the goal line.
