First Round Road Faves?

has there ever been a year where there has been this many road faves the first round?

still though. any team that has won 9 straight is considered a streak.

I know their last 5 games were against teams that sucked or TN who was resting their players but they and SD both have all the confidence in the world

congrats Ryan. your team took advantage of its surroundings and made it!!!

nevermind...the chargers will lose. Cutler predicted it...he's smart too


The San Diego Chargers had just won the AFC West title in resounding fashion, defeating the Broncos, 52-21, to earn the right to host the Indianapolis Colts in a first-round playoff game six days later, and Cutler stopped to answer an unambiguous question: Was it fair to conclude that the team he just played is for real?

“These guys?” the Pro Bowl quarterback asked, gesturing to the players celebrating behind him. “San Diego? No, I don’t think so. I think Indy’ll handle ‘em pretty good. We really can’t stop anybody, and that’s the bottom line.”

One of the supposed leaders of the team selling out his defense, lol!! Sure that will go over well with the rest of his teammates.

he's not a leader...he's a loser. hasnt played on a winning team since hs, throws teammates under the bus, says his arm is better than elways, still tries to start shit with rivers. his reaction if a wr drops a pass is priceless, yet the guy throws a ton of picks
