Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 2855430, member: 652"] The weather is how the Pats dominated Peyton Manning in his prime. Those 2003/2004 NE-Indy playoff games both had snow and tough winds. That negated the Colts strength. Now you are right the Chargers have an elite defense for 2018 NFL football and the Chargers are 8-1 on the road but the Patriots are 8-0 at home this year and the weather is an advantage. LA weather to cold/windy/snow weather is a factor. If it was just cold like yesterday that isn't that hard to overcome but add snow/wind. It is part of Patriots playoff history ask the Raider fans in this thread. They won't forget the Tuck Rule game which was marred by snow and that helped the Pats slow down an elite Oakland offense. If this was Mahomes or a QB with an elite arm it wouldn't be a factor but Rivers has one of the weaker arms and the winds/weather help the Patriots. That is why weather matters. [/QUOTE]
