Is this a trap game for Patriots?

By Chad Garner
Fan Fanatic Sports Staff
I know, the Patriots are rolling. Fresh off a gigantic overtime win vs. my Super Bowl pick, Baltimore, the Pats now travel to San Diego.
And this should scare New England fans.
I know the Chargers haven't played well, but they are still dangerous.
Here's five questions I have entering today's showdown in San Diego.

1. Can Tom Brady have a "breakout" game?
-- I know he's Tom Brady and all, but he hasn't had that game yet that you just shake your head and say he's the best QB in the NFL (note: I'd still take Brady over Manning or Brees, any day of the week, however). It may happen today, however.

2. Will we see a commitment to the running game?
-- Not a chance. The Pats pass to set up the run. And with a cast of characters like BenJarvus Green-Ellis and Danny Woodhead in the backfield, do you expect either guy to carry the load? No way.

3. Will Phillip Rivers torch the New England secondary?
-- I think Rivers will have a great day in the air, as long as TE Antonio Gates plays. If he doesn't, his security blanket is gone, and advantage Pats. Remember, this defense is still a work in progress, but they are making great strides. If the Pats get a good pass rush, the secondary will look just fine.

4. Is Deion Branch a go-to receiver?
-- No, he's not a legit No. 1 receiver, but the Pats don't need that. But he sure does have a great rapport with Brady. The Pats like solid receivers, being flashy is overrated in New England.

5. Who will win this game?
-- As much as my gut says trap game, I'm still picking the Patriots. Brady brings his A+ game today and lights up San Diego.

Prediction: Patriots 31, 24.

Week 7 Picks: Chad vs Jim

By Jim Ingram

It's Sunday morning, so that means it's time to unveil the FFS weekly NFL picks by Chad Garner and Jim Ingram. I am the current leader with a 3 game edge over Chad. So far I am 33-25 on the year as Chad is now 30-28. After a disastrous week 5, both of us rebounding in week 6 picking 10 out of 14 winners. Just like the past two weeks, there are only 2 picks that differ between the two of us.
