While this is an obvious statement, i think it will be close and be decided by turnovers or other costly mistakes. Question is who will make those mistakes. Herbert is currently viewed as a playoff chocker and maye is in his first playoff gameWe are a plus 170 point differenatal
Chargers a plus 28
We have a better home record than they do on the road
It will be cold and a differet time zone for an LA team.
Unless we simply blow iit, should be Pats 28 Chargers 17

Also if ref’s F it up, but being home team i would lean towards pats getting the break(s) but we will see
Herbert throws a nice ball, and he's kept the Chargers afloat this year. But he hasn't shown the ability to raise his game (or even keep it at the regular season level) in the playoffs.
His career playoff record is 0-2, and in those two games he posted a 52% completion percentage with 2 TDs and 4 Ints.
That's not a lot of games for a supposed MVP-caliber quarterback now in his sixth full season. A QB who has never led the league in anything. His reputation isn't backed up by anything he's accomplished.
Why is there no injury report today?
