I think the Chargers are going to win. They have LT (not even hall of fame players think the Pats can shut down LT, come on). The Patriots can game plan all they want to, but that is easier said than done. They also have Antonio Gates, perhaps the best TE in the game right now. It doesn't hurt any that the Chargers QB Phillip Rivers has the highest 4th quarter rating.
The Chargers have a solid defense. Haven't heard much about them this season, and Shawn Merriman was a quiet league leader in sacks somehow.
'Martyball' will not have any effect. People who mention 'Martyball' apparently don't watch the Charger's games very often. They don't do that anymore! They haven't since they got beat by the Ravens when they lost that lead early in the season!
The Pats also don't have the one person who basically won them all three of their Superbowls, kicker Adam Vinatieri. The Pat's only won all three of their latest Superbowls by a field goal at the very end. They have a rookie kicker, and even if he has the leg, since everybody wants to talk experience. Game winning field goal, in the playoffs? He'll probably choke worse than Tony Romo.
Tom Brady doesn't really have anything in his favor except for his coach.

Yes, I do know how to throw the Patriots under the bus, and I am very much like Sean Salisbury. They have a chance, it's not totally impossible, but I don't think they will.

Chargers have a better team. And besides, everyone is tired of the Patriots.

Chargers in the upset 31-27.

The Chargers because they clearly have the better team, have homefield advantage (cheering crowds can drown out Brady's play-calling), and the drive to win. They are undefeated at home.

I'm going with the Patriots because of Tom Brady's experience and the fact the Bellichick will be able to confuse Rivers.

Chargers because they are the better team, both offensively and defensively and they are hungrier than the stupid Patriots.

Patriots by a long shot ( or hail mary). Here is my thought: The Patriots have a backbone.

Pats will shut down LT and ivers will throw three picks. I've got the Pats in a close, low scoring game

Pats.
Martyball lingers its' ugly head and experience proves to be the deciding factor.
