9-3 Qualcomm Stadium, San Diego, CA 8-4
1st AFC East Patriots Favored 2nd AFC West

Major playoff implications tonight between the San Diego Chargers and New England Patriots as both teams grapple with seed positions in the AFC. Of even bigger concern to Denver Broncos fans is home field. A win tonight by the Chargers would put the Broncos in sole possession of the number one seed in the AFC. Go get 'em Philip Rivers!

Of course, a Chargers win also sets up an AFC West Divisional showdown next week as Peyton Manning and the Broncos would be travelling to San Diego for the rights to take the AFC West for the fourth consecutive year. I'll worry about that next week. For now, I'm a freaking Chargers fan for once in my life.

Prediction: Chargers 31, Patriots 30

What is your prediction, Broncos Country?
