Chargers at New England.

[JIBBBY]

Weather going to be bad expecting at least 6 inches of snow Sunday

Chargers are a sunshine warm weather team out here in Cali.. Certainly something else to consider. So Cal teams don't like snow and cold. Pats will thrive in it.

[Big Bear]

You have to bet Chargers against Pats

Whats the angle?

Its hard to bet against the hoody and Tom terrific.

[thebestthereis]

Day game here without bad weather is good for the Chargers. Possible snow showers (look ahead forecast) favor Brady a lot. It will mentally affect the Chargers if it snows and the crowd will be even more into it (if possible). The night games in Foxboro are much more difficult. Good luck!

I think there are a couple of factors to consider. This is not some kid with zero playoff experience the bolts are facing here. This is Tom Brady with a full compliment of weapons. They’re not gonna have all day to get to him because he gets rid of it so quickly. If they can’t stop Sony, Brady will torch them.
The Patriots Dee, which is always a work in progress that improves as the year goes on, has received a huge boost with the arrival of JC Jackson on the scene. In half a year he has turned into a shut down corner. He visullay got our attention with outstanding coverage that you can’t help but notice . At first it was. “Who’s 37?” Then it was “ man Jackson is all over that guy.” With Jackson and Gilmour covering the 2 top guys, it leaves the McCourty twins and Patrick Chung with coverages they can handle. Bolts will have to be able to move the ball on the ground in order to win.
My first Pats game ever was vs the Chargers in 1970 at Harvard Stadium. I remember Pats linebacker Mike Ballou hitting the Chargers kicker late and knocking him cold. When he came to, he was looking to kill the guy. He was so mad, but Ballou was a big mean dude. Joe Kapp vs John Hadl. It was even weird for an 8 year old football fan to see a QB wearing number 21.

That does not apply to Chargers this year considering they are undefeated after getting on a plane to leave LA.

I know but we have to be careful this year.
Pats defense does not have a strong pass rush. They also have small backfield.
Gordon is gone and Gronk has no legs. Edelman has shown aging.
Michel is still a rookie and he was injured.
Brady is not being adequately supplied and the Pats OL is not too good, either.
Belichick is a terrible general manager, I think they can lose this game.
Doesn't mean I will take the Chargers, undecided.. but I cannot take this year's Pats either.
They don't deserve to be backed. Brady does, but the team does not.

Brady hasn't looked the same this year either. I have seen him miss some throws that he never used to miss. I believe age may finally be catching up to him. We will see how he performs next weekend.

I was being flip here as I found that angle amusing, If I bet as side here and line stays around where it is now, I would bet Pats.

BUT taking my previous statement literally, Charger were 8-0 straight up during regular season (now 9-0 counting playoffs) when flying out of LA, and it was not done the conventional way (not 9-0 on the road).

You should get a job forecasting on channel 7.....LOL.

To many things stack against the Chargers - California team going out east in cold weather - New England had the bye - Patriots got tremendous coaching edge and experience-

I don't buy that shit for one second. The chargers have Traveled to Eastern time zones more than any other team this year and have won all of those games (baltimore, KC, Pitt, Buffalo, Cleveland) They even won at Denver. Chargers, Spread (large) Chargers ML (not as large, but a nice size)

[Ian]

I don't bet football sides often, but I'm waiting for the public to bet this line down and then jump on the Patriots. For all the talk about the Patriots getting old, Philip Rivers has looked more over-the-hill than any Patriots veteran. I think bettors are "buying high" on the Chargers defense also, as they have looked good lately against some truly terrible offenses in the 2nd half of the season. When they played strong offenses, they let up points. Add in that the Patriots are at home, rested, and have arguably the best coach ever and I think there's value here on the Pats.

[BigdaddyQH]

Let me pose a question to all of you losers. 2017-18, Philly vs New England. 2016-17, Atlanta vs New England. 2015-16, Denver vs Carolina, 2014-15, New England vs Seattle. 2013-14, Denver vs Seattle. Out of all of those teams (10) who ended up playing in the Superbowl for the past 5 years, how many of them won away playoff games?

[JIBBBY]

I don't remember them playing in the snow this season and or the Pats on the road (a quality playoff worthy team) this season in a playoff scenario like this.. We'll see?

I'd love to see the Chargers take out the Pats in the playoffs if I don't have money riding on it. I really would!!! I just don't think it's gonna happen.

[Redchevy]

I would keep a close eye on the weather Sunday morning to get a more accurate idea of the game time conditions. If it's going to snow hard up there, it will be a big advantage for NE, they thrive in that shit.

[JIBBBY]

^^ They do thrive in that shiiiit..

[lakerboy]

I'm on the chargers ml +185/+4.5

Down to+4/+170

[The Giant]

What's the weather looking like next Sunday?

[2daBank]

You have to bet Chargers against Pats

I thought that till I heard 3-4 inches of snow forecast during game. That worries me, a lot.

[2daBank]

What's the weather looking like next Sunday?

I just heard little bit ago on radio they were calling for temps in 20s and 3-4 inches of snow. Not exactly what I was hoping to hear as someone who likes chargers.

Same here.

[Redchevy]

It's still a long way out and anything can change but I know I'm waiting until Sunday morning before I'm hitting this game.

[lakerboy]

Let it snow. Let it snow

I dunno how it is up in the northeast but weather men around here be lucky to accurately tell us what happening outside this instant let alone a week away!! lol

[2daBank]

Let it snow. Let it snow

You like pats huh?

[lakerboy]

You like pats huh?

No. I already stated I'm on lac+4.5/+185

[2daBank]

No. I already stated I'm on lac+4.5/+185

And you rooting for snow? Really hard for me to believe that be good for the Cali boys??

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Down to+4/+170

Laker, how fired up are u for this game?

If you had to suit up at Def End opposite Bosa...would u be willing to put on the pads for this game?

[The Giant]

Lakerboy, do you have more money on the Chargers or Rams?

[shocka1212]

Down to+4/+170

should be +2.5 by kickoff

[odog11]

should be +2.5 by kickoff

Probably not if snow prediction holds, as someone noted bad weather big advantage for Brady.

[lakerboy]

Lakerboy, do you have more money on the Chargers or Rams?

I have the same on the spread for each. I have chargers ml.

[lakerboy]

should be +2.5 by kickoff

I can't see that but if that happens I would be happy.

[lakerboy]

Laker, how fired up are u for this game?

If you had to suit up at Def End opposite Bosa...would u be willing to put on the pads for this game?

I'm pretty excited for all four games. Never played football in my life but I played ice hockey so putting on pads no issue.

[shocka1212]

I thought that till I heard 3-4 inches of snow forecast during game. That worries me, a lot.

JJ knows all about that

[The Giant]

I have the same on the spread for each. I have chargers ml.

So, you got more on the Chargers then.

Smart move.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Laker, got a special treat for u. Tell me this isn't enuf to make u fall in love w/ football AGAIN:
