Divisional Playoff Prediction: Chargers vs Colts

Indianapolis Colts -9 vs San Diego Chargers

Norv Turner will not be performing his little salsa dance on the sidelines this weekend as the Colts will crush the Chargers.  The Colts are completely healthy and ready to roll on into Foxboro next weekend.  Forget about how the Chargers already beat the Colts this season and how they play them close.  Peyton Manning threw 6 interceptions, Sproles returned a kickoff and punt return for a touchdown, the Colts had just finished playing the Patriots the week before, the only healthy WR was Reggie Wayne, and Freeney was lost during this game. The Colts still almost won the game, but Adam Vinatieri missed a game winning 29-yard field goal after a very suspect penalty.

Need I mention the Chargers leading receiver Antonio Gates is looking doubtful for Sunday?  That means much more focus will be placed on stopping LT.  The Titans did a great job of this in the wild-card round which put the pressure on Rivers to deliver and he did.  However, in the hostile RCA Dome, Rivers will have his work cut out against a defense leading the lead in allowing the fewest points per game.
