These two games have so many historical similarities. Last year, San Diego was the team to beat, but they lost. The previous two seasons had teams to beat, the Steelers and Colts. They each won the Super Bowl a year later. Is it time for the Chargers?The Giants are attempting to become the second team to win three road games in order to reach the Super Bowl. The first team, the Steelers a couple of years ago.

Also, if Favre can get by the Giants, he will no doubt be a big underdog against a possible matchup against the Patriots. Just like John Elway’s Denver Broncos were a big dog against Brett Favre’s Packers.

The Jags game plan for trying to match the Patriots score for score and hope for the last possession proved to be a horrible plan. The Chargers will have to put pressure on Brady and get at least 3 turnovers to have a chance. The Colts could have easily blown out the Charger had they not shot themselves in the foot with the turnovers.

Chargers vs. Patriots
Pick:Patriots

Eli Manning has played very poised over the past month, but weather will be a factor. He has yet to play well in inclement weather. I believe that the Packers are the most complete team left in the playoffs. Even more complete than the Patriots.
