If you didn't see the Saturday Wild Card games you may be surprised to hear that the Arizona Cardinals and the San Diego Chargers both won their games. They were both teams that were not expected to win... So I suspect that the casinos are having a blast at the sports book.
San Diego has had to win every game for the last month to get in. The Arizona Cardinals won their division early and coasted to consecutive losses for the last month and a half.
It was a battle of the quarterbacks. Payton Manning of the Colts can hit a receiver from anywhere on the field. Rivers, the San Diego quarterback has an impressive running game even with their team's star LT of Campbell's soup fame mostly out with an undefined groin pull.
That was Grandma Neelly's chief physical complaint in her later years. I have this pull down in my groin. Hell I didn't know what a groin was at that time. Maybe thats a good thing. I suppose kids now would know what that was with the advent of so much publicity in sports medicine.
Arizona was playing that Atlanta team with the unbelievable rookie of the year quarterback, Matt Ryan. His nickname is ice. He was going up against the quarterback plucked from the grocery story checkout lines for the St. Louis Rams, Kurt Warner. The Wylie coyote In this case the experience of Kurt held up against the raw talent of the newcomer. Why? fewer mistakes.
Both games were fun to watch. The Colts/Chargers game went into overtime. That always makes for an interesting conculsion. The winner of the coin toss usually wins in overtime. Tonight was no exception. Good by Colts and Falcons in the playoffs.
I hope the games on Sunday will be as good.
