San Diego Chargers
San Diego Chargers Saturday night the San Diego Chargers will be in their powder blues as they host newly voted league MVP Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts in the ACF Wildcard game. Odds makers are calling Peyton and his Colts slight road favorites as they head into Qualcomm Stadium for their battle with the Chargers. NFL betting lines have Indianapolis at -1.5 with the total sitting at 50.

Manning won his third MVP award Friday, making him and Brett Favre the only players in NFL history to win the prestigious award three times. The Colts signal caller threw for more than 4,000 yards and 27 touchdowns after struggling early on. Indianapolis stumbled to a 3-4 start before rattling off eight straight wins to close out the season as the AFC's fifth seed.

Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy says that the
Colts are the healthiest they have been all season, but for the Chargers, they have major concerns on offense.

Running back LaDainian Tomlinson has a detached tendon in his groin area and according to league sources, the injury is so bad that team doctors advised the Pro-Bowler to have surgery this week. Tomlinson is listed as 'questionable', if he can't go, back-up Darren Sproles will get the bulk of the carries.

Also star tight-end Antonio Gates has been bothered with a sprained ankle that could keep him out of Saturday night's game. Charger coach Norv Turner said on Thursday that Gates would be a game-time decision.

Both of these teams are extremely hot right now, but that will come to an end for the Chargers this weekend. With San Diego so banged up, the Colts will be too strong for them to handle.

Take the Colts and give the 1.5 points.
