1st off I'm a Ravens fan, but let's break this down unobjectively.
The Chargers lost two very close games, a last play TD against Carolina, and a blown call against Denver. I know Broncos fans think differently, but it was a blown call. Phillip Rivers has come on strong, and with LT I think they can outscore Denver all day. Also, the Broncos defense is suspect, to say the least. Even without Shawn Merriman, the Chargers have a much stronger pass rush. Antonio Cromartie is the new Champ Bailey, and they also have a much better run defense. The broncos let Larry Johnson have his way with their D, and in the playoffs that will get them knocked off quick. Denver is'nt even the best team in their division, let alone in the NFL.
I will give them much credit, they have improved drastically this year. They might have the best passing game in the league, But they have no defense. And without a good run game or defense, they will get crushed in the playoffs. Especially if they have to play a game in the snow, against the Bills, or jets. who have great rushing offenses and defenses, and a QB's who won't lose the game for them.
Overall I like the Chargers or Jets out of the AFC, and the Giants look like they can repeat in the NFC. Let's not forget Dallas has looked great in the regular season for a while now, and they have yet to win a game in the playoffs. I think the Cowboys can pull it together and win it all, but their fruitful stats have yet to propel them further into the post season.
I love how this season is playing out though, last year all that was said was how great the AFC is, and how no NFC team can compare. But this year is completely different, I think any team in the NFC east can make a good run, and Carolina has some potential as well. As far as the AFC, it will come down to who can tighten their run games, and defenses. I think NYJ, DEN, SD, TEN, and BUF can all contend for the conference championship. But the only teams with a run game and defense good enough to win, is Buf and Ten, And I have doubts about both of their passing games.
So, here we go with my predictions. Unbiasley, I like the Chargers vs Giants in the super bowl. I think they are two teams that will bring the heat later in the season, and they both have great players from every aspect of the game.
But good luck to your teams, and they both can easily win every game. The Cowboys just have to prove they can win in the playoffs. And the Broncos need to establish a better defense, and rushing game. But both teams have by far the best Passing offenses in the NFL (without Brady), and I will be excited to see what happens!!!
