San Diego is bad. Very undisciplined. Norv Turner and Wade Phillips are the same man. Worst special teams in football. NE is on another Bellichek mission against the world. Have to go NE here getting points. Might be easiest win of weekend.

The Over is probably a better bet if you like NE...Comment -
Good point on the over.Comment -
like the over.Comment -
I vowed not to bet NFL as much or maybe not even at all if i am up after college on Saturday but this might be the easiest pick of the year. There are no "locks" in betting and I actually hate when people say that but this is a pretty sure thing. Its the only game with the exception of maybe two more that I will be playing on Sunday.Comment -
Malcolm Floyd is potentially out, as is Naanee (both have hamstring issues, although Naanee is hoping to practice this week). Gates is banged up, although he is expected to suit up. He had some sort of foot/toe injury, so don't expect him to be at 100%. Patrick Crayton and Buster Davis could potentially be the 1 and 2 receivers for a team that relies heavily on the pass. As shaky as the Pats D is, they have faced better weapons this year, and should handle them no problem.
And Nate Kaeding, the kicker, is also out, which means they have to sign someone. Obviously not as important as Gates or Floyd, but don't count on easy points in FGs from the Chargers this week.
Pats should win by 10+, but I'll definitely take the points too

Games like this always favor the dog. Probably worth action on ML & teasers as well. NE is fairly solid & healthy so far this year.Comment -
SD has not loss a game yet at home.Comment -
I like your pick and I like the ne ml alsoComment -
ml is the way to go on this if you like pats.Comment -
Why does this game seem to be to easy......I wouldn't be surprised to see San Diego win this gameComment -
Line definitely looks suspicious. NE just won in OT against a very tough Baltimore team, and SD is coming home after a horrible loss to St. Louis. Plus, SD had injuries to some key offensive player. Public is heavily on NE after their come from behind win and the line has not budged from +3. Red flag.Comment -
They played Jacksonville and Arizona.... they better be 2-0 at home with those cupcake teams.
Gates and Naanee are banged up, Floyd is almost definitely out, and Patrick Crayton and Buster Davis are going to be the 1 and 2 WRs. Rivers should have his first weak game of the year, because he has no one to throw to. Matthews is also hurting at RB, and Sproles is not an every down back. I like the Pats big here. Brady is starting to gel with his young receivers, Branch is back, and the Pats are pretty damn healthy right now.Comment -
strange line. can't figure it out yet...
NE should be a no brainer.. hmmm..
RobustComment -
on the pats as well. Also, just dropped 10 units on the pats team total over 22.5. If they don't score 4 td's against SD I'd be hugely surprised.>54%Comment -
SD will win easily, cross country travel after a tough physical game that went into OT?Comment -
I think people overestimate the cross country travel, especially east to west. Its a 6 hour plane ride, and the clock essentially rolls back 3 hours....
Plus, its the Patriots, by far the best-coached team in the NFL. No way does Belichick not have them prepared for this game. They may lose, but I wouldn't count on it. Chargers have Buster freakin Davis as their #2 or #3 WR this week. Rivers can't throw for 300 yards every week...Comment -
Historically they have also been slow starters, its usually around this time they pick it up. IDK I really like this game thoughComment
