The three points are basically the default for home field, right? So betters are saying that, in a neutral field, San Diego and New England are basically 50/50?
I just don't see that. I'll be shocked (and disappointed) if New England loses today. Other than the fact San Diego had two blowout wins at home... but c'mon, those were against Jacksonville and Arizona (starting Max ****ing Hall).
Plus, injuries. Antonio Gates (the one guy that the Pats worry about the most) hasn't practiced all week and is a game-time decision. Floyd and Naanee aren't expected to play. Who's Rivers going to throw the ball to?
Do what you want, but MAN, I'd be cautious going for the Chargers this week. IF they were the 'dog, maybe... but unless you think New England's going to let down (I don't), I don't see San Diego with much chance of winning.
I don't care what the line is, if NE loses this one they should sit the rest of the season out.
