I see a lot of people talking that the Chargers are really talented...but Derwin James is out, and Gordon is holding out. So like a lot of other years...they have talent, but Chargers are doing Charger things to undermine the talent.
They could very well win the Division...but they will not be in the Superbowl this year.
Than add in the conspiracy theory of the NFL not wanting a playoff game with 30,000 fans...most of them cheering for the other team.
The only constant in the NFL is the Patriots...everything else moves.
I'll take the Patriots to against a NFC north opponent this year solely because they have cycled thru every other Division in the NFL already, and since only the NFC East has ever been able to beat them in a Superbowl...they win.
My Predictions

Rematch of Superbowl 15, except that this time the Patriots are not some rag tag Wild Card team taking on a dominating team with an all time defence.
Patriots 24 Bears 21
