NFL WILDCARD




What is in the water in San Diego? Whatever it is, all I know is that the Chargers produce some of the best running backs. LT is great (although on a decline), Michael Turner is proving he too is the real deal on Atlanta, and now say hello to the newest and possibly brightest star, Darren Sproles. Watching this 5 foot 6 mighty mouse plow thru defenders like a mini Brandon Jacobs is a blast. He pops out of the backfield like he is being shot out of a rocket, and jukes and turns at amazing paces. Based on this one performance, he is my favorite RB to watch play along with Peterson and Jacobs. This guy is going to be a star in this league... let the bidding wars begin on him as he becomes a free agent after this. Chargers are scary right now.... reminding me of the Giants last year. You have to realize this, the last 4 games have just about been playoff games for the Chargers.... must win games. And Rivers, like him or not, seems to be one of the most competive guys in the league. Will Rivers join Rothlessberger and Eli in that elite class of QB's from that draft to win the big one? The Chargers look real hungry, with young unknowns stepping up and making the plays when it counts (just like the Giants last year). The Colts were becoming a favorite to win the AFC... Now I got to say its the Steelers. I think this Chargers team can beat the Titans and give Pittsburgh a run for its money.

I must admit however, I LOVE the Chargers theme song... it is the most tacky disco anthem I have ever heard. It might also be the most god damn catchy song of all the times.

The Cardinals are a fair weather team. They are going to be devoured by either the Giants or the Panthers. If the Falcons could've established some sort of run game, they would have won. I'm convinced Matt Ryan is the real deal and will be a star in this league for a while. Sure he had his rookie mistakes, but overall he put together some really good drives. No one will be talking about this game, and the Chargers look to remain the talk of the league unless something amazing happens tomorrow.

Heres my picks for tomm.... Vikings manage to stop Westbrook and force McNabb to the air. McNabb makes some costly errors and the Vikings pull of a last second victory. Vikings by 3.

The Ravens defense is simply too much and they take a commanding lead on the dolphins ending the cindarella story. I say Ravens by 10.
