New England Patriots San Diego Chargers AFC Championship Game Pick
The New England Patriots San Diego Chargers AFC Championship game pick for Sunday’s first Conference Championship game, which takes place at the Gillette Stadium, is for the Chargers to cause a major upset against the Patriots by beating them to progress to Superbowl XLII.
The New England Patriots are the big favourites to win this encounter at odds of 1/8, a result which would stretch the Patriots record for the season to 18-0. However, at odds of 11/2, the San Diego Chargers represent an excellent value bet to spring a major surprise and put a halt to the Brady, Moss et al bandwagon.

The Patriots are well known for having both quality and experience throughout all units on the field, but equally, the Chargers have the players capable of making an impact on this game, as proven against Indianapolis last weekend. And the impressive way that the Chargers go about doing their business is something that has been too frequently overlooked in the build up to this game. Plus the Chargers will be gunning for revenge following the Patriots defeating them in last seasons Play Offs
The key man for the Chargers is undoubtedly Running Back, LaDainian Tomlinson, who, if on top form could be the man capable of bringing an end to the Patriots season and is13/2 to be the first player in the end zone. In addition to Tomlinson’s threat on the ground, Chargers Quarterback Phillip Rives has so far impressed in the Play Offs, helped along the way by impressive performances by receivers Chris Chambers and Vincent Jackson, and another big game performance should be expected of the often outspoken Rivers on Sunday
Whilst it still remains a big ask of the Chargers to win this game, the betting does not reflect just how close this game could be. The only thing that is for sure, is that this AFC Conference Championship game is sure to be entertaining with both sides desperate to be heading to Arizona in two weeks time to face the winner of the Green Bay Packers New York Giants game
