AFC Conference Championship Prediction: Chargers vs Patriots

Conference Championship Prediction: Chargers vs Patriots

New England Patriots -14 vs San Diego Chargers

Tomlinson questionable, Gates doubtful, Rivers doubtful, Chargers chances of covering the spread this weekend, DOUBTFUL. Even though the point spread is huge for a championship game, I can not justify picking the Chargers when they are heading into Foxboro unprepared and without their key players practicing. It's like trying to cram the day before a Physics exam when game planning against Belichick.
Just like the one Randy Moss received from his so called long time friend, the Chargers are going to need to issue a temporary restraining against the Patriots as they are going to abuse the Chargers.

Here's a fact for you: seven out of the last eight Conference Championship games have been decided by 14 or more points. This bodes very well for the Packers and Patriots this weekend. Not to mention that Chargers defensive lineman Igor Olshansky has provided the Patriots with plenty of bulletin board material for this game.

The Patriots are headed to 18-0 and a rematch of Super Bowl XXXI against the Green Bay Packers.
