Wow, what a great game this should be. Tom Brady and the Pats made a statement with a comfortable win over the Jets on Sunday. But how will they handle LT and the awesome San Diego offense next week? I don't think they can, and fully expect a Charger victory. What do you guys say?

I think the Patriots are clicking now that the playoffs are here. The only reason i'm giving the Bolts a chance because it's in San Diego but i'm picking the Pats to win.

Chargers fans, pray that you don't win this game. You don't want a rematch with Baltimore. LaDainafraud might be exposed. Lights Out may have his lights knocked out. Ask Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers. You don't want to be staring down Scott, Suggs, Thomas, Lewis, Ngata, Gregg, Pryce, Reed, Rolle, McAllister, and Landry. They'll rip your team apart and leave them in a shambles that will guarantee them the number 1 pick in a few years that they can use on Ryan Leaf's younger brother. I hear he's gonna be just as good as big brother. Or maybe you can draft Eli Manning's sister. I heard she's as good as either Peyton or Eli.

are you joking. the ravens won by 3 points with only a couple of seconds to go in baltimore. with all of the chargers defense healed and rested it will be a rough game. i am a charger fan but i will only say that it will be a good game. i favor the chargers over the ravens for three reasons. first is that the game will be in SD. second the chargers defense is well oiled and rested to tear any team apart. third the chargers passing game has greatly improved from the first of the season. you guys are a great defense but no defense is good enough to stop the run and pass if they are both clicking.

Did you know that the teams with first round byes win 80% of the time? Last week was a little mini-Super Bowl for the Patriots and I think SD wins this easy.

Boltarius of Bolt Talkwouldn't sell his ticket for 10 grand (Personally, I think he's nuts).

No one wanted Charger tickets in 2000, now EVERYONE wants one… I would not sell my ticket for Sunday’s game. Even for $10,000 - money is transitory; beating the Patriots in a playoff game is FOREVER.

I don't know who to root for tonight...

-Chargers: Philip Rivers, ugh. Schottenheimer (not a fan of).
-Patriots: Belichick (not a fan of), but if they lose, Pioli may reconsider the Giants

Either way, it should be a terrific game. If you're the Colts, who do you hope wins though? lol

[ThePundit]

Personally, I'm sick of Bellichick. I hope the Chargers win - and I think they will.

I'm pretty sick of hearing about LT. I mean he's good yes, maybe great, but enough already. And I want to see how Rivers does in a really big game. Brady and the Patriots on the other hand are battle tested, proven winners in the biggest of games. When it comes down to it I would not bet against Brady in a game of this magnitude. He rarely loses in situations like this.

No way will this be a easy game for the Chargers if they win, I don't care for either team but its hard to go against Tommy , I'm saying the Patriots for the win , A rematch Clots / Patriots

Still scoreless in the first quarter, about 4:00 left.

Pats just forced a Rivers fumble on a 4th and 11 play and get the turnover on downs. This after Rivers was pressured and misfired on what should have been an easy TD pass. Neither team seems to have a huge advantage at this point.

[Lefty Noob]

Gostkowski just booted a FG to give the Pats a 3-0 lead late in the first period.

[G.O.D.F.A.T.H.A.]

The Pats kicked a field goal so now its 3-0.

[Lefty Noob]

Nice run there by LT to pick up the first down. Though maybe he was gonna break that one, but Samuel pulled him down. End of the first.

[Lefty Noob]

Is it just me, or does the Chargers offense look a little shaky thus far?

[G.O.D.F.A.T.H.A.]

The Chargers got cheated. That wasn't a fumble.
