Probably a little high but I expect a big win. The Chargers' only wins against playoff teams this year are the ones in the playoffs and regular season to the same Indy and Tenessee.

Their "winning streak" to end the season ?

Baltimore
KC
Tenessee
Detriot
Denver
Oakland

Puke.

Then factor in travel and injuries and . . . .

This game should be off the board pending the status of Philip Rivers. It's also further compromised if LT can't go.

I was assuming that's why it's so high. I know we love our Pats, but 15.5 points is a hell of a lot of points for an AFC Championship game. I figured it'd open 11pts and go to around 14 later in the week *with everyone healthy*, but opening 15.5 provides some protection for bookmakers if it's declared those guys are out (which likely wont be), so there's still room for movement either way. Turner is a very solid backup RB.

Nah. Spread should be around 10 if Rivers and LT are playing and are 80% or better.

Too much spread. I lost 10,000 Charger Bucks this weekend because the Pats didn't cover the spread. 15.5 is waayyyy to many points.
