I'm still not impressed with Rivers of the Chargers.
To me they seem like a team built for regular season play. Too dependent on the run, and defense is great at pass rushing but leaves a lot of holes for a good qb to pick at and gnaw at.
I don't see any reason why the Pats can't make a run to the Super Bowl.
As it stands now it looks as if the Pats will be facing SD in the first round assmuming they beat what looks like Denver at home in the first game, and I think they will do just that.
I could easily see the Pats and Brady picking apart the San Diego "d' with those quick outs and slants that Brady loves to use, and though noone can stop LT, I think the Pats could limit the carnage.
Colts/ Baltimore looms large(I think the Colts will win the Cincy rematch which I project, and if not would beat the jets) and I think thats a hard game to call. But I think the Pats would have a good chance at beating either team if they get by SD.
