[southriver]

ugh...the BOLTS will win due to the BOLO tie. Its completely proven undisputable science.

I dunno what got into Mathews but he ended up having a really good season. All I had known about him coming into this year was he was drafted high, was injured a lot, and fumbled frequently. I think Woodhead coming in and sharing the work load in a different way (lots of receptions) really helped. Woodhead was a great fantasy pick up for me, consistent every week it seemed.

Keenan Allen has been IMPRESSIVE. I think he's gonna consistently produce at a high rate. Don't think he'll hit those superstar highs, but he'll give you 80 reception and 1100 yards a year. Allow other players to work against 2nd and 3rd corners. What an excellent draft pick.

Chargers fans should be excited. Rivers is back, the offense appears to be in good hands, not sure how the defense is holding up, and a good young coach to steer the ship.

Good assesment of Allen. I don't think he's going to be an elite type WR, but he's going to be a very good legit #1 type of WR.

I really like the young trio of pass catchers with Allen, Ladarius Green and Vincent Brown.

The Chargers have some nice pieces for the future. Keep an eye on Melvin Ingram as he continues to get stronger coming off the ACL surgery.

Denver is still the most talented team in the division, but KC and SD are closing the gap.

Just imagine this offense if we had Flloyd and Alexander on the outside with Allen working the middle. Along with Green, Gates and Woodhead and that's a pretty scary offense.

And Royal who's been very good this year.

I think Floyd has taken his last snap as a Charger, and I am not sure what they will do with Alexander.

I pick San Diego. I'm not explaining why I'm just posting this so I have proof I picked them if they win.

I was worried that you wouldn't provide proof. Whew, what a load off my mind

as a charger fan, i cant help but be excited for this team next season regardless of what happens this year. the GM staff really did well on draft picks and free agent signings this year. there are areas to upgrade, clearly they can do a lot more with less than Norval had during his tenure. at the beginning of training camp this looked like the worst roster in football. but it is one win away from the AFC championship today. what fan could be upset with that type of turnaround?

as for this weekend, i am confident they can win but denver isn't the number one seed for nothing. it should be a great game. to me its a toss up.
