-SD's defense is stout. Pats will be hard pressed to make hay. However, SD and NE play the same 3-4 with speed rushers. So did the now departed NY Jets. Pats will throw a few wrinkles, but Brady will make his plays.

-Sidelines. Belichick vs Schottenheimer. Like asking if you want a blow job or a kick in the balls. The choice is obvious.

New England 26, San Diego 20

appears I wasnt too off base...and I'll take the blow job every time

I dont like to brag, but the Patriots did win and I'd put last night in the "good night" column if you know what I mean haha

Leave it to Marty Ball !!!

2 dollar, that loss had absolutely nothing to do with marty ball. That had to do with two very bad turnovers( the last one was utterly retarded)

i'm going out on a limb.

i think new england wins this game but loses to eventual super bowl champ indianapolis. they'll trade a 4th round draft choice for randy moss and then come back 16-0 in 2007 and play san diego again for the afc championship.

i just have a feeling.

Isn't Sid Gillman still the coach of the Chargers? He's known for his innovative defense, they may shut out the Patriots.

How about New England against the spread? 2-7 ATS in their last 9.

Hoss,
Where Vegas is really getting killed is on the over, they can't make it high enough. I don't have the exact # but during the middle of the season other than the Indy game they went over 10-11 weeks in a row.

I'd like the Bolts to beat the Patriots, but this game is probably going to get UGLY! I will probably load up on the Patriots -14.

[NoChanceToDance]

Can't see this being a high scoring game, myself. I think that Chargers +14 is a massive bet.

[horseofcourse]

I see no possible way the Chargers don't cover this. Call me crazy, but haven't they won 8 straight games?? NE a great team, but they are starting to get figured out...just not figured out good enough as someone mentioned they're 2-7 against the spread their last 9. If I were a betting man I would completely load up on the Chargers this game. I guess if Rivers is out that changes things...but even then...the Eagle backup and Kyle Boller beat the spread against them. Very easy money in my opinion to be made here.

[Danzig]

i think the patriots win. and then win the super bowl. i know some teams have played some hellacious games against new england, managing to get themselves up for the game of their lives...but the pats still find a way to win. i don't see sunday being any different. and the chargers are pretty dinged up--rivers has a partial tear of his ACL, i don't see him playing. and i'm not sure how much LT will get accomplished, he's pretty sore as well.

Looks like pointgiven got a hold of horseofcourse's password. I think the Chargers will cover but I can see about 600,000 scenarios where the Patriots blow them out.

Patriots cover, eventhough I hate them!

41-17

it will be that bad!

17-1 is still a pretty good year

I don't know Irish...your fav Rivers looks like he will play..could be closer than most think.

I actually hope Rivers plays, I said it before and I mean it, Volek is a more dangerous QB than Rivers.

[IrishofNDMan]

Don't get me wrong though, I would love for the Chargers to win, which is probably why I won't end up betting it.
