Based on the spread, I'm guessing LT plays, Gates plays but still is not even 80% and Rivers is likely not going to play. I think if Rivers was healthy, it would be around 10 and if LT and Gates were not in limbo - it would be around 8.
I don't see a scenario in which the Chargers win this one. The Pats are just too good - they didn't even need to use Moss barely at all to get a win over a damn fine Jags team.
As far as covering the spread - I think it's likely - yet ya just never know in these damn games.
After seeing all this stuff about Rivers and his trash talking this year (and he hasn't accomplished anything!!!), I'm now firmly on board with NE killing SD this weekend...here's hoping for a 41-7 final...

We'll see. I think it's going to be a close game. Look for San Diego to blitz a lot. The first time they played, San Diego got 3 sacks and Ted Cottrell wasn't blitzing Merriman very often and Cromartie wasn't even starting. He's starting to use the talent that San Diego has on defense to their advantage.
LT isn't listed on the injury report anymore so he'll be playing. Rivers and Gates are doubtful but that's because they only practiced on Friday. I'd look for both of them to play some snaps but if they are ineffective then they will be pulled.
FYI, I live near San Diego so I'm biased but the fact that no one is giving them a chance will let them play loose.
