I don't just say it because they won today, but I may pick them in Denver next week. They're one of the few teams willing to throw fire at Peyton and blitz him continuously. They also beat Denver.....in Denver On a short week, though. With a fully rested and healthy Broncos team the Bolts have no chance in hell. I hope.

Short week this, short week that.
It's not like the Chargers came off a bye week that Thursday, and they were the ones that had to travel too.

AFC divisional round predictions: San Diego @ Denver: The Broncos are favored to go to the AFC title game and are coming off a bye. The Chargers have been on a roll and have defeated Denver in Denver earlier this year. Will Rivers win his biggest game to date? Can Manning overcome his penchant for one-and done gag jobs? I think it'll be a fight, but Denver is too good. Broncos 37 Chargers 28 Indy @new England: The Colts showed some guts by coming back on the road against a fraud Chargers team in round 1. The Patriots are a team who knows a thing or two about the postseason. Luck vs Brady. Crappy defense vs Crappy defense. This will be a shootout Patriots 34 Indy 30 So the Chargers are a fraud team on a roll? D'oh! I meant the Chiefs were a fraud. I clearly lost focus. The Chargers are white hot right now. They'll battle Denver hard, but I just dont think they can beat them on the road again

And to think, this team was the last team to lose to Mike Shanahan. The Chargers, in the words of Randy Moss, play when they want to play.

As long as Philip Rivers is the Chargers QB, they'll never win the big one. I still think they'd be better off without him.

This will be a shootout Patriots 34 Indy 30 NFC Round 2 New Orleans @ Seattle: New Orleans took a step towards shedding the road choker label. Seattle has been the team to beat in the NFC all season. New Orleans was embarrassed in Seattle 34-7 last time. Can they find a way to win in the hostile crowd? Flip a coin here. New Orleans 24 Seattle 21 (OT) Green Bay/San Fran @ Carolina: The Panthers are good. But it's not quite their time yet. GB 30 Carolina 23 or San Fransisco: 28 Carolina 24 I don't think the Pats Nd Colts Defenses are as bad as people think. Sure Indy got lit up this week, but both teams are top ten NFL defenses in Ppg.

Short week this, short week that. It's not like the Chargers came off a bye week that Thursday, and they were the ones that had to travel too. It's just tough to beat any team two times on the road in one season. Not saying it can't happen but I'd still but Broncos down as comfortable favorites.

But I seem to remember the year he partially sprain (tore?) his ACL and played on it while his "classy" star running back sat on the sidelines with a boo boo with his helmet on

Not, not as bad as people think, but I dont see either defense shutting the other's offense down

Any player not in sleeves is f***ing stupid. In these conditions, it's not manliness, it's for your health.

He was able to start the game, but couldn't finish. Those injuries were big factors in keeping them out of the Super Bowl that year.

So Andy Dalton is the AFC's Matt Ryan (at least when the latter was 0-3)?
