2019 Playoff Picks - Part 2

Here is part 2 of my world famous playoff picks for Sunday's games:

Chargers at Pats: On paper, it looks clear cut. The Pats, well rested and healthy, hosting the Bolts. On the one hand, you have Phillip Rivers, trying for the eighth time to beat Tom Brady for the first time and on the other hand you have the Chargers who haven't lost this year when traveling outside of Los Angeles. The Chargers also made Raven QB Lamar Jackson look downright normal with their game plan. These are not the San Diego Chargers. These are the Los Angeles Chargers.

Honestly, everything is pointing towards the Pats. They have the HOF QB (even though they'll be dusting off a spot for Rivers as well), a healthy Gronk (another future HOF) and they have the coach. But dogonnet, I like the Chargers. They have a couple of future Canton guys in Rivers and his guy in Antonio Gates. And Belichick has not cornered the market on effective coaching. My head says bet the Patriots but my heart says to go with the Bolts. That's why I don't wager on games. BreezyG's pick: Chargers

Eagles at Saints: The defending Super Bowl champs faces a tall task against the team that had the leagues top five rushing and passing offenses the past two seasons. The Eagles have been able to do it behind the play of super (sub) Nick Foles. As for New Orleans, what has been said about Drew  Brees and his high flying act that hasn't already been said ? 

This would be the set up for the type of match in which everything is just so much in the Saints favor that the Eagles would come in and just flip the script and shock the world. This year not so much. One of my favorite lines that I have about Saints games is that there is always a party. The party will continue this weekend. I don't think that the Eagles will be able to keep up with the Saints party train better known as their offense. BreezyG's pick: Saints
