SD (-6) over Jets
SD is rested and ready for this game. They have the home field advantage and the Jets just haven't looked very sharp of late. The chargers defense will focus on stopping the NY rushing game and the charger CB's should be able to stay in coverage on the jets WR's. SD special teams will have to play a good game because the Jets have been making big plays on kick returns. Still a rested LT, and gates should be too much for the Jets defense. The LB's will have to stay true to the run and the play action pass should be open all day for Gates. Scary that the last time the Jets were in the playoffs they laid the wood to the Colts but that was a different team and SD has been for real of late. They have the offense to score and the defense is playing outside themselves!
Colts (-10) over Denver
The broncos may have won this past weekend, but the Colts have a rested and ready starting team. James took one snap and rookies rounded out the defensive secondary. I'm sure dungy showed no sign of the game plan he plans on using this week. The broncos have showed of late they are not a solid team, yes they have potential but the colts at home will have the advantage. Denver is a solid defense against the run but have given up plays through the air. look for the Colts to capitalize on Lynch in coverage. He hits like a truck but does not have the deep speed he will need to stay with Indy WR's. He can cover Clark but not stokley! the Indy defense will be fired up and freeny should be all over Plummer. He has the speed to run right by the o-line of Denver on pass coverage plays. Denver has a great running game but you can't bring a knife to a gun fight and the broncos will have to abandon the run to keep up with Indy and that is when Plummer will make mistakes!
