Wonder if they get to leave their stuff in the locker room between games.

Pats will be staying at UCLA during this two game road trip, thanks Chip Kelly.

Hebert has a A+ arm with Acc they have no running game K Allen will get 10-15 targets in the pass game mike williams can high point the ball hunter herny is a great TE but they have noone beyond those 3 their OT are bad they have a great pass rush duo but other than that they lack on def i expect u to win by 7 20-13 and the reason why is their head coach way too safe

Ekeler is back too. I think he makes a huge difference for them. I can see the secondary keeping Williams and Allen in check, but I'm worried about Ekeler and Henry taking advantage of the Pats linebackers. Herbert is also sneaky athletic. I'm sure the Chargers will find a way to lose the game because that's what they do, but they have the talent to put up points.

The Pats are a thoroughly average team. Which means I could see them beating the Chargers or losing to them pretty much equally.

I much preferred the days when the Pats would roll a team like this without much of a thought.

If there were ever a game where the head coach was worth significant margin in the betting odds, this would be that game.

They will probably get some secure space at the stadium to store their game day equipment trunks. They'll need to bring any trunks that they'll need for practice this week to UCLA.

Yeah, BB gives us the biggest chance this week. SD is loaded with talent and like always is underachieving.

Ahem...Los Angeles

They will always be the SD Chargers to me. Fuck the Spanos family!

Kevin Harlan on the call. That in itself is a pleasant development

Yes it is. The game not being on in my area stinks however. Hard to argue putting the Packers-Eagles on in 2/3 of the country though.

Another "new normal" for the Pats. In years past, they would have the 80%-of-the-country game, not the 20% that's only on in the two teams' markets.
