The Chargers are more trustful this time against the Patriots since Tom Brady is absent for the rest of the season.
This game was considered one of the highlights of this current NFL season, but soon after Brady got injured and the Chargers started 2-3, it’s not quite the same thing.
Now, this game means some sort of revenge for San Diego, who fell to New England by 21-12 on the game for the AFC title last season.
And with Matt Cassel as the current starting quarterback for the Patriots, a Chargers victory is possible as Philip Rivers is considered a better QB than Cassel.
These teams are not underdogs, but they started the season with the left foot, and as a surprise, the worst team of last season, the Dolphins, have beat them both.
