- LT, Rivers, Gates are all gimpy
- SD has to travel back cross country, and then travel all the way across east again. Last year we paid price for that having beaten the Bolts and then 2nd half meltdown vs Colts.
I see it as 38-14 Pats.
While Patriots fans may be excited at the prospect of playing the Chargers instead of the Colts in the AFC Championship Game, they may want to think twice. Over the last part of the season, San Diego has arguably been a better team, especially on defense.
Chargers Patriots
W-L 8-0 7-0
PPG 28.5 29.9
Opp PPG 13.1 19.6
Opp rush YPG 84.8 108.4
Takeaways 24 11
The 15 point spread is absolutely tempting. San Diego's defense is as physical as anybody, they force turnovers and can get to the Q-B. What happened in Week 2 was ages ago, under pristine conditions.
That defense is too good to lose by 15, unless Volek and Turner are starters.

I'd take it. Like I said on the Colts board last week, the Pats SHOULD win, but it won't be a blowout. If you think it'll be a blowout, you're living in la-la land.
Considering our average win this year is 19 points and the 7 wins we have over playoff teams is 17.8, I'm not sure I'd call it la-la land.I'd take it.

That was the Chargers super bowl. they blew their wad on that game. They will never get that emotional again. They will come here feeling confident that they will play as well, but they won't. They are already done and just don't know it yet.
I already know whats going to happen when you lose next weekend.
