Alright
The Chargers play the Patriots at 3PM CST today
I am probably going to give this one to the Patriots, as LT had a knee injury (even though he will play) and Antonio Gates has a messed up toe (he plays too).
Tom Brady has an injured shoulder, but I don't think it will offset the Patriots' offensive superiority, especially with the Chargers' running game looking to be a little lighter than normal.
The Giants play the Packers at 5:42 CST
I think this one is the Packers hands down even though Nick Barnett and Charles Woodson are injured and listed as probable.
The Packers played the Giants earlier this year and won. Admittedly neither team had fully found their stride yet, but I believe the Packers have developed theirs much more fully than the Giants have. I would have liked to see the Packers play Dallas, because I think that would have been a much better game. I still think the Packers would have won that despite having lost to Dallas in the regular season. In the regular season game the packers were playing zone defense instead of man-to-man like they are accustomed to and Brett Favre and Mike McCarthy both were playing like they needed to go in the end zone in one play. With the team healthy enough to play man-to-man and Aaron Rodgers thrilling performance in that game, I think it would have been a shoo-in.
What are everyone else's predictions?
EDIT:Sorry I looked at the Patriots website and it said 3 PM and didn't take into account the fact that they were in a different timezone than me.
EDIT: Well the Packers lost due to shoddy play-calling and playing (in that order) so I was wrong on that
