What you're thinking

We asked readers on Thursday afternoon to begin voting on the outcome of today's game. Not surprisingly, we found Patriots fans to be supremely confident. Only 10 out of 218 people who voted thought the Chargers would prevail. Nearly 58 percent of you thought the Patriots would win and cover the two-touchdown point spread.

We also asked if you were concerned about Randy Moss' off-field issues becoming a distraction for the team. Out of 228 votes, close to 86 percent said no, the Patriots would not be distracted.

Finally, we asked you to name the Chargers player that scares you the most coming into the game, and we gave you a list of seven San Diego stars. There were 102 votes, with LaDainian Tomlinson leading the way (32 votes), followed by Shawne Merriman (22). The least scary of the seven? Banged-up quarterback Philip Rivers, who got just three votes.
