I said at the beginning of the playoffs that I was going to fade San Diego as they became the favorite of the public (IMO) and in a year where no team has emerged as a true favorite I just thought they would be overvalued. Now I think everything has changed as I am almost SICK of hearing the whole Bellechick and Brady angle versus the rookie QB and Marty. If I have to hear this reason again why NE will win I will puke. I don't recall a 14-2 getting less respect as SD has and it is to a team that really isn't anything out of the ordinary.
If New England didn't have the reputation of playing so well in big games than this 14-2 SD team would be a solid 7 point favorite (IMO). I just see a VERY FOCUSED SD team that has something to prove this weekend. Good teams take that next step and this is 2 teams going in the opposite directions (hunger wise espicially and age).
I say hammer SD this weekend and after they look good than turn around and fade them when the bandwagon gets full. Its all about value and I say the value with 14-2 SD at home versus a NE that seems to missing something to me.
