Heavyweight Matchup: San Diego at New England
This is the game everyone has been waiting for! Fresh off their videotape spying incident, the New England Patriots look to improve to 2-0 as they face the 1-0 San Diego Chargers at home. The Patriots are 3 point favorites in a re-match of last season’s playoff matchup. In that playoff game, NE came from behind and won in improbable fashion as San Diego absolutely choked the game away. In the offseason, New England added key offensive players and look to be legitimate Super Bowl contenders. San Diego, meanwhile, still a Super Bowl contender, has remained relatively unchanged from last season. They are coming off a win at home against Chicago, but were not overly impressive. If the game were in San Diego, I’d give the Chargers the nod, but this game is in New England. The Patriots have too much firepower. Until San Diego proves they can win a big game, I’ll have to fade them in these situations. New England -3.
