The biggest stength of th eChargers is their running game. One of if not the biggest strength of the Pats is stopping the run.
I think Tom Brady agasint that defense is a much better bet that Philip Rivers against ours.
Because of our run D, and SDs reliance on running, SD may be one of the most favorable matchups we have.

Unless the offense can become productive consistently against a good team I don't see them going anywhere. it is sputtering right now. the Patriots are going to go only as far as the offense brings them.
As for the chargers, I'd be afraid of merriman.
