Chargers will win. They'll also go on to win the Super Bowl. Why? Because they were Philly's first opponent:

Rivers looks like a frat star that just won a game of beer pong in that gif

Peyton is gonna be locked in. No way he gets bounced in the first game again.

Let's go San Diego Super Chargers! 07/08 AFC Championship rematch. Make it happen.

Not counting out Chargers should be good.

I wamt Rivers to get his ring so he can be up there with Ben and Eli. I'd also like to see Manning/Brady in a AFCCG for old time's sake. Manning/Indy for the Super Bowl is also a good story. I'm satisfied either way, just hope for a good game.

Chargers have won last 4 of 5 vs. Manning on the road. Denver should win but San Diego shouldn't be totally discounted.

You'd be crazy to discount SD.

Re: AFC Divisional Round: #6 San Diego Chargers vs #1 Denver Broncos

If Mathews is healthy enough to play I really like SD's chances but if he isn't than it's going to be a bit tougher. I do think SD needs to open up the playbook more but at the same time their best defense is making Manning sit on the sidelines so it can't be too explosive of an offense.

I feel like San Diego will win this one either way.

Denver is an 11 point favorite in this game.

Yikes.

Re: AFC Divisional Round: #6 San Diego Chargers vs #1 Denver Broncos

I think Denver gets it this time. I have to imagine they won't let what happened to them a few weeks ago happen again. I think it's a close one that becomes final midway through the 4th.

Broncos - 31
Chargers - 20

Plus I wanna see Peyton v Brady or Luck in the AFC Title game.

Re: AFC Divisional Round: #6 San Diego Chargers vs #1 Denver Broncos

I'm so happy the Chargers beat the Bengals (I hate the Bengals, being a Ravens fan.) It's been a great year, with rookie head coach Mike McCoy "fixing" Phillip Rivers. As for this game? Sure, the Chargers beat the Broncos in Denver a couple weeks ago. In that game, the Broncos were without Wes Welker. The return of Welker makes Denver's already beastly passing game that much better. The Broncos have a good-if-not-great running defense. The Chargers, on offense, relied on the run to beat the Bengals. Denver will shut down the Bolts' running attack, and Rivers will lose a shootout with the (unofficial IMO) MVP of the NFL this season, Peyton Manning. In the AFC title game, my money's on Manning vs Brady. For me, that one's too close to call right now.

Just as an FYI the Chargers rushed for 180 yards vs. Denver in their last meeting.

Nightmare matchup for DEN. I love that they drew SD, who is familiar with them and was one of the few who defeated them this year.

As much as I want to go with the big upset here, I think SD is just overmatched.

It'll be close but Denver pulls away in the 4th. 41-27 Broncos.
