Keenan Allen will have a big day

Keenan Allen may be one of the most underrated players in the game. His route running is elite, and he is having another year of dominance on the outside. While he leads the Chargers in receptions, it has been Mike Williams who has been getting a lot of the attention.

Williams leads the team with 498 yards and six touchdowns. Allen has been consistent all season, but has just one touchdown thus far.

For New England, this will be a game that resembles their Week 6 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. CeeDee Lamb had nine catches for 149 yards and two touchdowns in that game. Mike Williams will garner a lot of attention, and rightfully so. He has been the home run hitter for the Chargers offense this season. This will allow Allen to get more looks downfield. Williams will almost certainly have his opportunities, as well. This just feels like the game where Keenan Allen will take over.

The Patriots allowed Dak Prescott to throw for 445 yards and made Davis Mills and the Texans offense look good for three quarters. Herbert and the Los Angeles offense will get theirs, and Allen will lead the charge.
