4:30 p.m. Falcons at Cardinals…This game could go one of two ways...Either a snoozer or a shootout. With the Cardinals defense giving up an average of nearly 27 points and the Falcons at 20, this should end up being a shootout. I’m excited to see if Matt Ryan can emerge as a great quarterback in his first playoff game as a rookie.
Defensive end John Abraham may play according to reports. With Abraham in the Cardinals will flounder much like they have the past couple of weeks….correction…whole season. In their last 10 games of the season they went 5-5 and beat the Rams (twice), Niners, and Seahawks (twice). That competition is about as stiff as grandpa without his blue bombers…gross I know but you get the point. The bird soaring at the end of this game is going to be the Falcons 38-27.
8 p.m. Colts at Chargers…This game is a rematch of week 12, where the Colts avenged their 2007 stunning playoff loss. But do not look for the Chargers to come out firing on all cylinders. LaDainian Tomlinson and Antonio Gates did not participate in practice this week and are both listed as questionable. Even if they do play, they are not going to be 100 percent and their quarterback depends on the play of these two individuals. Speaking of which, Philip Rivers is quite possibly the most overrated quarterback in the league and the way he carries himself on the field is embarrassing. He is too childish and immature to be considered a great quarterback like his competitor this weekend (who is now the MVP for a third time…Congrats Peyton).
The Colts big worry is not having linebacker Gary Brackett in the lineup. He is fourth on the team with 99 tackles and a very important part to stopping the Chargers run game. If Tomlinson is out do not completely write off the Chargers. Darren Sproles is a fantastic running back and he runs as hard as LT and is nearly as elusive, and he returns kicks too. This is going to be the better of the two games Saturday. Colts 24 Chargers 17.
So with that said, who's looking forward to Colts-Steelers? THIS GUY...and the NFC South Showdown of Falcons-Panthers could be good too...but I mean really the AFC is so ridiculously competitive I love it. You think my ideas are too far off? Get back to me and let me know.
