Patriots 9-3 @ Chargers 8-4. The Patriots' brutal schedule portion continues, Wk 9-Den, Wk 11-@Ind, Wk 12-Det, Wk 13-@GB, and now @ SD. Next they host Mia. Pats are 3-1 so far through this portion, so if they can go 5-1 or 4-2 through that, it'll be very impressive. I don't know what to think about SD. They could win this game, or they could lose by 17. At this moment, ESPN says it's Pats -4. Do the oddsmakers know something we don't? They usually do. But if I was a betting man, which of course I am, I would take SD and the pts, since NE had to travel..
I continue to be surprised at how lightly many folks regard Phillip Rivers .... as his former coach at NCSU said, all he does is win .... he does so without a steady stream of highly regarded teammates
