Chargers / Patriots are the intriguing matchup of the week.
How will Philip Rivers do in his first playoff game vs. the Schemes of the Master Bellichek?
Will the Chargers revert back to playing "Marty Ball?" Schottenheimer has not been very successful in the playoffs, though it has not been all of his fault (aka, "the Drive" and "the Fumble" back in the 80s) however he blew the Jets game 2 years ago with his conservative play calling when the Jets were back on their heels and Kaeding missing the FG in the playoff loss.
Can the Chargers handle Tom Brady, who is cool and cold as ice, especially in the playoffs...and has ben playing very well lately since he and Brigette Moynaham broke up. Well that doesnt matter
Will the K-Ball consipiracy show up in this game? Probably not since the weather will be so nice. Should be good game.
