What I'm Looking For
As a Raider fan (yea, yea. Let's hear it.) I find the pressure is off a bit but, I still don't have a clear favorite to win it all. It's easy to go with New England but, these dynasties don't last forever and the Chiefs and Cowboys make strong cases for being in the early years of building their own elite Super Bowl caliber squads.
On top of that, the NFL is the best this game has to offer and if you can make it to the Playoffs, you're very much capable of getting a big W in January so, everybody has a shot. I won't bother picking winners, everybody already does that. I will however, pick a few matchups that I'm most excited to watch.
Top of the list in the Division Round is the Chargers and Patriots.
As I mentioned, the Pats may be at the tail end of a dominant run but, Tom Brady just is. Am I right? That said, I am a little excited about what the new Chargers have built with Rivers at QB. They didn't get into the endzone until the Fourth Quarter against Baltimore but, they did get points. I'm not sure that will work in New England but, big games tend to bring out the best in big game players and I think that will happen for the Chargers.
The Playoffs resume on Saturday, January 7 with Colts @ Chiefs on NBC at 1:35pm PST
How do you feel about things so far? Is your team still in the hunt?
Let it be known.
