He did say he was going to back up his thoughts, so perhaps you might want to back up your moronic comment calling someone an idiot.

there is a reason there are divisions...each one goes through peaks and valleys of being the best and being the worst. this argument comes up all the time and its stupid. not even worth discussing

Every team has a different strength of schedule, so I don't agree with the top 6 making it period.

An 8-8 team will not make the playoffs. Denver wins Sunday and they go in 9-7.

The linesmakers don't think much of Denver. San Diego a 9 point favorite? Would have been a tragedy if Denver made the playoffs yesterday. One and done. Obviously the Chargers are better than their record indicates. Chargers point differential on the season is +61. Denver's point differential -47. Its remarkable that Denver somehow has a better record. Also throw in San Diego is the only team not to lose a game by double digits this season. The Bolts are dangerous if they play like they did yesterday. The Bolts secondary outside of Jammer is very questionable although. Antonio Bryant was running behind defenders all day.

The Jets were -7˝ and Falcons -6˝. What do these two games have in common with Week 17's matchup? Denver is a heavy road dog. Love it love it.

the jets and falcons dont have what the chargers do. a belly full of extreme hate for the broncos, a rowdy crowd full of extreme hate for the broncos and a feeling that they should take back what is rightfully theirs
