I'm documenting this just so I can reserve the right to say "I told you so" at the end of the season...I'm picking the San Diego Chargers to come out of the AFC and go to the Super Bowl. Here's my reasons why:
1. They finally proved they could get the monkey off their back by beating the last AFC team to win the Super Bowl The Indianapolis Colts.
2. They have been elimated by the Patriots in the playoffs 2 times in a row (just like the Colts before they won the title in 2006) and this will be the year they find away to beat the Pats in the playoffs and go all the way (just like the Colts in 2006). Last year they were a few injurys, namely LaDainian Tomlinson & Phillip Rivers away from beating the Patriots. They picked off Brady 3 times, and beat the Patriots up all game. But without Tomlinson and a healthy Rivers the Chargers were unable to muster up enough points to upset the Patriots. But this year will be different because....
3. The Chargers young defense will be even better this year and they were spectacular last year.They were 5th in the league with 42 sacks, and led the league in picks with 20 including 6 in the playoffs led by 2nd year sensation Antonio Cromartie who led the league with 10. While The Chargers offense should be healthy for the playoffs this times around.....
4. On other side the Chargers main road block the New England Patriots get worse. They lose Donte' Stallworth a key offensive player, as well as several starters on defense including Pro-Bowl CB Asante Samuel who bolted New England for a big contract in Phili.
So my only question if the Chargers don't go to the Super Bowl who's gonna stop them? The Colts wont and I'm beating the Patriots wont either.
