Over the Hill? Tomlinson’s NFL Career Not Over
The expected axe finally fell on LaDainian Tomlinson as the San Diego Chargers gave him his walking papers today after nine seasons.
The LT post-mortems all point out how he struggled last season getting just and average of 3.3 yards a carry and disappeared in the San Diego Chargers playoff loss to the Jets, but that’s a load of something that begins with c and rhymes with rap.
LT will miss the Chargers Cheerleaders
The Chargers Darren Sproles didn’t do much better picking up 3.7 yards per carry. The problem wasn’t Tomlinson, but rather the offensive line who couldn’t open enough holes for LT. Or at least it isn’t just LT’s fault.
Colts as Vulnerable to Jets as Chargers
Right now everyone is saying that the Colts pulled off the upset of the playoffs when they beat the Chargers after laughing at Rex Ryan for calling his Jets the team to beat.
Yes, it was an upset, but no it didn’t surprise a lot of people. Many of the pundits predicted that the Jets would win or at least keep it close enough to cover the spread largely because the Chargers had a below-average run defense and the Jets’ top-ranked defense allowed them the luxury of sticking with the run.
New York Jets at San Diego Chargers
The San Diego Chargers come in to this playoff contest riding an 11-game winning streak, but they face a New York Jets team that could be a match-up nightmare.
The Chargers (-310) are 7-point NFL playoff odds favorites over the Jets (+250) and the over/under is 42.
The Chargers may be heavy NFL betting favorites, but the Jets match up well against the Chargers and could very realistically straight-up win this one.
The Jets have the number one defense in the NFL. They have the best scoring defense at 14.8 points per game and the best total defense giving up 252.3 yards per game.
Darrelle Revis Vs Vincent Jackson – Who Ya Got?
I know Darrelle Revis had a great year. I know he’s the only true shutdown corner in the game. And I’m starting to get the feeling that after only 3 years in the game not only could he be the greatest corner ever, but he could quite possibly be the best defensive player in the history of the game. That’s hype ladies and gentlemen.
