2008-09 NFL Divisional Playoffs

January 8th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Welcome to the Divisional Round of the Playoffs…..or should we say the Backyard Brawls? There will certainly be some smash mouth football played this weekend. We had a very good NFL Wild Card Weekend from a Fantasy perspective and look to keep it rolling this weekend. Score wise, we were 2-2 and we will try to improve on that this week.

Let’s review our Wild Card Weekend forecasts before moving on to our Backyard Brawl predictions.

FALCONS 24 @ CARDINALS 30

Other than the final score, we were fairly accurate in forecasting this one. Even though we called for a Falcons win, we did warn that if the Cardinals got their running game going, it was advantage home team. That turned out to be a very good call. We expected RB Michael Turner to get over 100 yards and 2 TD’s in this one but the Cards defense spent the entire game in the Falcons backfield. The end result was dismal day for Turner as he rushed for 42 yards and 1 TD.

We were accurate on QB Matt Ryan suggesting 225 yards and 2 TD’s. He finished with 199 yards but did get his 2 TD’s. The problem here was that he also threw 2 INT’s. WR Roddy White finished four yards better than our call of 80 yards and 1 TD with 84 yards. RB Jerious Norwood was a bust with just 40 total yards and he was held out of the end zone. We had WR Marty Jenkins posting 60 yards and he finished with 51.

We suggested that the Cardinals needed to have a running game to have success in this one and they did. QB Kurt Warner came close to our 300 yards and 2 TD prediction as he finished with 271 yards 2 TD’s and just 1 INT. RB’s Edgerrin James and Tim Hightower produced exactly as we predicted as James had 73 rushing yards and Hightower vultured the Cards lone rushing TD.

WR Larry Fitzgerald and WR Aquan Boldin both produced our expected, close to 100 yards and a TD. WR Steve Breaston was a little lower than our expected 70 yards with just 39 receiving yards.

COLTS 17 @ CHARGERS 23

Of the four games this past weekend, this was the one that we forecasted the worst. Too much faith in the streaking Colts and injuries were the primary reason for our lack of success here. RB LT2 was on his way to a good game before leaving after he aggravated his groin injury. He finished with just 25 yards and 1 TD. When you look at the numbers RB Darren Sproles posted, you can see what “could have been” for LT2. QB Phillip Rivers didn’t produce as we expected and finished with 217 yards and 1 INT without a TD pass. WR Vincent Jackson and WR Chris Chambers were both a bust in this one. TE Antonio Gates produced the yards we forecasted but was held out of the end zone. Hopefully you used RB/KR Darren Sproles as the flex starter we suggested as he had a monster game with 150 total yards and 2 TD’s.

We missed on the Colts and QB Peyton Manning. He posted the yardage we called for but had just 1 TD pass. The Colts running backs had the dismal game we forecasted finishing with just 56 yards and 1 TD WR Reggie Wayne produced the yardage we expected with 129 receiving yards but had just 1 TD. WR Marvin Harrison was a bust with just 20 yards. WR Anthony Gonzalez produced better than the 50 yards we expected and finished with 97 but did not score. TE Dallas Clark also a bust in this one as he finished with just 33 yards on seven catches.

RAVENS 27 @ DOLPHINS 9

We said the Dolphins enjoyed a Cinderella season but were about to turn into pumpkins and they did. QB Chad Pennington was harassed all day and finished with the numbers we forecasted at 252 yards, 1 TD and 4 INT. The Dolphins running game was held in check as we said it would be and didn’t even reach the 80 yards we predicted as they finished with 52. RB Ronnie Brown did salvage his day somewhat with 43 receiving yards and a TD. We told you to stay away from the Dolphins receiving core in this one and they were busts across the board. We expected better numbers from the TE position for the Dolphins but they were busts as well.

We told you stay away from QB Joe Flacco this weekend and he finished with 135 yards and did not throw a TD. RB LeRon McClain and Willis McGahee both posted the rushing yards we expected but Ray Rice did not play. WR Derrick Mason posted the 70 yards we expected but didn’t get the TD we called for. WR Michael Clayton was a bust with just two catches for 16 yards. We told you to temper your expectation of TE Todd Heap and he posted just 31 receiving yards. In the end, we told you that the Ravens D would score and make life miserable for the Dolphins and that’s exactly what happened in this one.

EAGLES 26 @ VIKINGS 14

We said the Eagles defense would be too much for the Vikings in this one and it certainly was. QB Tarvaris Jackson was the bust we called for as he passed for just 164 yards and 1 INT. We were very surprised that we didn’t see QB Gus Frerotte in this game at some point. We called for a modest 90 yards and 1 TD from RB Adrian Peterson and he ended with 83 yards and 2 TD’s. We told you that you shouldn’t trust anyone from the Vikings receiving core here and that was very good advice. WR Bernard Berrian and WR Bobby Wade were both busts with a combined 60 receiving yards. We told you that there were better options at TE than Visanthe Shiancoe and he was a bust with just one catch for seven yards.

We said that you could trust QB Donavan McNabb in this one and he produced 300 yards and 1 TD though his TD was offset with 1 INT. RB Brian Westbrook was the strong start we suggested with 121 total yards and 1 TD. The Eagles receiving core was a bust here and produced the low end numbers we suggested and didn’t not score. TE L.J. Smith didn’t dress for this one and Brent Celek had the yards we expected but not the TD as he finished with six catches for 56 yards.

That’s a wrap of Wild Card Weekend so let’s move on to our Divisional Round forecasts.

RAVENS (11-5) @ TITANS (13-3)

The Backyard Brawls kick off with this early game on Saturday. The Ravens used punishing defense to end the Dolphins season last weekend while the Titans were on a bye. The Ravens finished the season with a 4-1 run while the Titans stumbled a bit to go 3-2 over the same stretch. We don’t expect many points in this one and see this game as the upset of the weekend. Read on to find out why.

On defense, the Titans rank 6th against the run and gave up a 12 rushing touchdowns. They rank 9th against the pass and gave up 12 passing touchdowns. The Titans registered 44 sacks and had 20 INT’s. On offense, the Titans rank 27th in passing and scored 13 touchdowns through the air. They rank 7th in rushing and scored 24 TD’s on the ground.

On defense, the Ravens were stellar on both sides of the ball. They rank 3rd in run defense and gave up a league low four rushing touchdowns. They rank 2nd against the pass and gave up 17 passing touchdowns. The Ravens registered 34 sacks and lead the league with 26 INT’s. They added 3 more sacks and 4 more INT’s to their total on Wild Card Weekend. On offense, the Ravens rank 28th in passing and scored 16 touchdowns through the air. They rank 4th in rushing and scored 20 TD’s on the ground.

These two teams met back in Week 5 and the Titans scored 10 unanswered, fourth quarter points to pull out a 13-10 win. The two teams combined for just 495 net yards of offense in a battle of the defenses. We expect more of the same in this one. QB Kerry Collins had a miserable performance in that game with 163 yards and 1 TD with 2 INT’s. Of all the QB’s starting this weekend Collins is the one that we would trust the least. At age 36 Collins is not the most mobile QB out there and the Ravens will stack the box to stop the run and force Collins to beat them through the air. He simply doesn’t have the weapons to do so and when he tries, the Ravens will get to him with both sacks and INT’s. We expect an even less productive day than Collins had back in Week 5. The Titans won their 13 games this season behind with the Thunder and Lightening combo of running backs LenDale White and Chris Johnson. Back in Week 5 however, White and Johnson had their least productive game of the season. Johnson carried 18 times for 44 yards and White was limited to 3 carries for 4 yards. To his credit, White was way more productive from that point on but most of that production came against suspect run defenses like the Chiefs, Colts and Lions. Up against solid run defenses like the Bears, Jets and Steelers, he totaled just 63 yards and 2 TD’s. Johnson was a mirror image of White and he to produced against mediocre run defenses but was ineffective when he faced a stout run defense. A combined 100 yards and 1 TD is about all you can expect from this tandem this weekend. When the Titans have to go to the air, the results will not be to your liking. WR Justin Gage didn’t play in the game back in Week 5 but comes into this game healthy. That being said, Gage topped 100 receiving yards just twice this season and should not be trusted as your starting WR this weekend. Expect a four catch, 45 yard day from him in this one. No one else from the WR core for the Titans should be considered in this one. Boo Scaife showed flashes of emerging as a reliable TE several times this past season but never followed up a good game with another good game. He will be used as a safety valve for Collins against the blitz but we expect a modest four catch 40 yard effort from Scaiffe in this one.

We see the Ravens as last years Giants in both style of play and in the weapons that they have at their disposal. So much in fact that we feel they will represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. QB Joe Flacco showed great poise and decision making again last weekend against the Dolphins. He doesn’t put up big numbers from a Fantasy perspective but he manages the game with the effectiveness of a veteran. Back in Week 5 Flacco threw 2 INT’s but we don’t expect him to make mistakes like that in this one. Pencil Flacco in for 185 yards and 1 TD but don’t have him as your starting QB this weekend. The Ravens will stick to guns in this one and will pound the ball on the ground. RB LeRon McClain had just 11 carries for 55 yards and 1 TD in the Week 5 meeting but has been the workhorse for the Ravens down the stretch. He averaged almost 22 carries a game over the last seven weeks and has 6 TD’s in that stretch. We expect McClain will get the bulk of the work again this weekend and forecast an 80 yard 1 TD day out of him. Despite taking a back seat to McClain veteran RB Willis McGahee has been a good company man and has excepted his role of subbing in when McClain needs a breather. With a diminished role you can’t expect much from McGahee and we suggest a 55 yard day with a possible score from him this weekend. RB Ray Rice has been battling a calf injury for four weeks now but should dress this weekend. If he does, you can’t expect more than a handful of carries and the minimal yards that will go along with them. The Ravens run first approach makes anyone from the Ravens receiving core a risky start from week to week. WR Derrick Mason is the Ravens favorite target and is as steady as they come. There are better receiving options available this weekend though. Limit your expectations of Mason to 65 yards and a TD here. WR Mark Clayton is dealing with a knee injury but did play last week in a limited role. Clayton had some big games down the stretch for the Ravens but you should limit your expectations to 55 yards this weekend. TE Todd Heap is another Raven who has accepted his role and just goes out and does what is asked of him to help his team win. That means a lot of blocking and not much receiving. Heap is dealing with a back injury but will start against the Titans. Anything more than 40 yards would be a surprise out of him in this one.

Bottom Line: The Ravens defense will be too much for the Titans to over come in this game. The #1 seed will be one and done while the Ravens will move on to an epic battle against the Steelers in the AFC Championship game.

STATS SCORE: Ravens 24 Titans 13

CARDINALS (9-7) @ PANTHERS (12-4)

The late game on Saturday has the biggest point spread of the week as the Panthers opened as 10 point favorites. Part of the reason for that huge number has to be the fact that the Cardinals were 0-5 on trips to the East Coast in the regular season while the Panthers were a perfect 8-0 at home. Back in Week 8 the Cardinals lost 27-23 to the Panthers in Carolina. Read on to find out why we feel the 10 point spread is a fairly accurate number for this one.

RANKINGS

On defense, the Cardinals rank 22nd against the pass and gave up a staggering 36 passing touchdowns which was the most in the league in 2008. They rank 16th in run defense and gave up just 13 rushing touchdowns. That ranking however has more to do with teams playing shootouts with the Cards or taking advantage of their weak secondary than it does the Cards playing stellar run defense. The Cards registered 31 sacks and had 13 INT’s. On offense, the Cardinals rank 2nd in passing and scored 31 touchdowns through the air. They are a dismal, dead last, in rushing offense having gained an average of just 73 yards per game while scoring 14 touchdowns on the ground.

On defense, the Panthers rank 16th against the pass and gave up 19 passing touchdowns. They rank 20th against the run and allowed 14 rushing touchdowns. The Panthers registered 37 sacks and had 19 INT’s. On offense, The Panthers rank 19th in passing and scored 15 touchdowns through the air. They are 3rd in rushing offense and scored 30 touchdowns on the ground while averaging 152 yards per game.

The Panthers know what’s in store for them when they face the pass happy Cardinals. QB Kurt Warner had a stellar game in the Week 8 matchup with 381 yards and 2 TD’s with 1 INT. He will need an even better performance if the Cardinals stand a chance to pull off an upset in this one. The extra week of rest has helped the Panthers get healthy while Coach John Fox and company used the time off to game plan for the Cards. Despite a nice effort from RB Edgerrin James last weekend, we think the Panthers will pin their ears back and bring a heavy blitz on Warner that will force him into making mistakes. The Panthers run game will also limit the Cards time of possession and WR Anquan Boldin is questionable for this game. We see those factors adding up to a 235 yard, 2 TD and 2 INT day from Warner on Saturday. Fumbles could also be a problem for Warner in this one. As they did last week, the Cardinals will need another big game from Edge in this one. We expect a repeat performance from the Cards backfield in this one and will pencil Edge in for 75 yards with RB Tim Hightower chipping in another 45 yards with a TD. WR Larry Fitzgerald is an unstoppable force for the Cardinals and we expect he will have another big game here. The possibility that he won’t have Boldin with him on the field is a reason for concern though. He is however to good to sit and we expect another 100 yard and 1 TD day from this Fantasy Stud. Hamstring injuries are not good for wide receivers and that is what Boldin is dealing with this week. The Cards have kept him out of practice all week and his status is not looking good for Saturday. Even if he can go, one as to wonder how effective he will be or how much he will play. At the time of writing this, our best advice is to monitor his status and keep your expectations in check if he does suit up. With Boldin questionable, the onus falls on WR Steve Breaston to step up and take some coverage away from Fitzgerald. Breaston is a very capable WR and would be a starter on most teams in the NFL. We are going to assume that Boldin will be ineffective at best and pencil Breaston in for 80 yards and 1 TD.

The Panthers game plan will be very simple for this one. Run, run and then run some more while taking 20 or so shots down the field through the air. QB Jake Delhomme rarely lights it up from a Fantasy perspective and we expect a modest game from him in this one. Delhomme had 15 TD passes with 12 INT’s on the season while averaging 27 attempts and 15 completions per game. We see 200 yards and 2 TD’s as a reasonable expectation from Jake in this one. The Panthers success rests squarely on the legs of their version of Thunder and Lightening in RB’s DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart. Williams was the Fantasy MVP at running back in 2008 and Stewart was solid as their change of pace back. Both of them will very active in this one. Expect 135 yards and 2 TD’s from Williams while Stewart will pitch in another 70 yards and a possible score as well. When the Panthers go to the air they look for WR Steve Smith who was the only receiver in the NFL to average 100 receiving yards per game in 2008. Back in Week 8, Smith torched the Cardinals for 117 yards and 2 TD’s. Look for Smith to have a similar game in this one minus 1 TD. WR Muhsin Muhammad is one of the most underrated receivers in the game. His intangibles, such as being one of the best blocking receivers in the league, make him invaluable to his team but not as attractive from a Fantasy perspective. We expect 50 yards and a TD from Muhammad in this one. Neither TE Jeff King or Dante Rosario should be your starting TE this weekend. We expect five catches and 35 combined yards from this blocking tandem.

Bottom Line: The Cards do not travel well and face a steep, up hill battle in this one. The Cardinals defensive front line did a very good job of limiting RB Michael Turner last weekend but we don’t see them having the same success against the Panthers in this one. Panthers roll to the NFC Championship game.

STATS SCORE: Panthers 31 Cardinals 21

EAGLES (9-6-1) @ GIANTS (12-4)

The early game on Sunday features old foes that know each other very well and hate each other. These two teams split the season series with each team winning in the other teams back yard. In Week 10 the Giants won 36-31 in Philadelphia while the Eagles got pay back with an impressive 20-14 win in the Meadowlands. The final score was not indicative of how either game was played though as each team dominated the other in their respective wins. The Giants begin their defense of last years Super Bowl win as the hunted rather than the hunters. We aren’t really sure if that’s a good mode for them to be in. The Eagles on the other hand slip into the same role the Giants played last season as they look to win three games on the road to get to the big game. Of the four games this weekend, we find this one to be the most difficult to predict.

RANKINGS:

On defense, the Eagles rank 3rd against the pass and gave up 19 passing touchdowns. They rank 4th in run defense and gave up just seven rushing touchdowns. The Eagles registered 48 sacks and had 19 INT’s. On offense, the Eagles rank 6th in passing and scored 23 touchdowns through the air. They rank 22nd in rushing and scored 15 touchdowns on the ground.

On defense, the Giants rank 8th against the pass and gave up 17 passing touchdowns. They rank 9th in run defense and gave up 14 rushing touchdowns. The Giants registered 42 sacks and had 17 INT’s. On offense, the Giants rank 18th in passing and scored 23 touchdowns through the air. They rank 1st in rushing and scored 19 touchdowns on the ground while averaging 157 yards per game.

The Giants have held up all season despite injuries and the antics of WR Plaxico Burress. They did stumble somewhat down the stretch as they lost three of their last four games. They also needed a 34-28 OT win over the Panthers in Week 16 to keep from going 0-4 to finish the season. We have never been a fan of QB Eli Manning and our opinion of him doesn’t change in this one. After Kerry Collins, our next least attractive starting QB this weekend is Manning. While his INT’s were down this season so were his passing TD’s and without Burress as his go to guy, we think he will struggle in this one. The Giants are also a run first team and that will limit his chances for success. Throw in the Eagles defense, that has been lights out over their past five games, and we see Manning throwing for under 200 yards without a TD and a couple of INT’s. Weather should also be a factor in this game with snow on Saturday and a possibility of more on Sunday. RB Brandon Jacobs is back at full practice for the Giants this week and appears very close to being 100% ready. Jacobs rushed for 126 yards and 2 TD’s in their first meeting but his injury woes started in the second meeting and he was held to 52 yards before leaving the game. The Eagles defense hasn’t allowed a 100 rusher since that Week 10 game and gave up just 2 rushing TD’s in their final 7 regular season games. The Giants will lean heavily on Jacobs in this but we expect him to be limited to 80 yards and 1 TD. Derrick Ward will spell Jacobs as he has all season but, barring an injury to Jacobs, his touches will be limited and we expect a modest 60 total yards from him in this one. The WR position for the Giants has been mess all season. Amani Toomer, Domenik Hixon and Steve Smith will all looks from Manning but none of these guys will scare the Eagles. We don’t see any of them as Fantasy starters this weekend. Of the three, we see Hixon as the most productive in the 70 yard range followed by Toomer in the 60 yard range and Smith bring up the rear in the 50 yard range. TE Kevin Boss has been dealing with an ankle injury and concussion symptoms and did not dress for the Giants Week 17 game. He is not listed on the Giants injury report and should start against the Eagles. Expect 50 or so yards from this up and coming TE.

Apart from their Week 16 clunker against the Redskins, the Eagles have been playing as good as anyone over the past six weeks. They enter this game with momentum and they are brimming with confidence. Since being benched at half time in Week 12 QB Donovan McNabb has passed for 10 TD’s and just 2 INT’s and averaged 240 yards per game. The Eagles passed 66 times against the Giants in their two games this season and Mcnabb wasn’t sacked once. McNabb looks like a man on a mission and we expect 250 yards and 2 TD’s from him in this game. RB Brian Westbrook has not practiced all week but that’s only because the Eagles want him to be rested for this game. Westbrook was held to 49 total yards in the Week 10 against the Giants but erupted for 203 total yards and two scores in their Week 14 game at the Meadowlands. Westbrook has the ability to take over a game and carry the Eagles on his back on any given week. We are going to pencil Westbrook in for 120 total yards and two scores in this one. The Eagles suddenly have a very crowded albeit average receiving core. Kevin Curtis, DeShaun Jackson, Jason Avant, Reggie Brown and Hank Basket have all seen looks from McNabb down the stretch. Picking out the one that will do the most damage is a challenge for both the Giants and Fantasy owners. Throw in emerging TE Brent Celek and the picture gets even more cloudy. There are much better options out there this weekend so we suggest that you should just avoid the Eagles WR situation all together. Of this bunch we see Jackson at 65 yards and Curtis at 50 yards being the most productive Eagle receivers and you can expect 40 yards and a TD out of Celek.

Bottom Line: After doing this review the overall picture looks quite a bit clearer. We’ll call this upset special two and pencil the Eagles into the NFC Championship game against the Panthers.

STATS SCORE: Eagles 27 Giants 17

CHARGERS (8-8) @ STEELERS (12-4)

The Divisional Playoff games finish off with rematch of the Week 11 Chargers @ Steelers game that was won by the Steelers 11-10 in miserable weather conditions at Hines Field. The 11-10 final was the first such score in NFL history. While it’s going to be cold in Pittsburgh these teams won’t face swirling snow they had to endure back in Week 11. Health issues have been the major story leading up to this game and it should be decided by defense.

On defense, the Chargers rank 31st against the pass and gave up 25 passing touchdowns. They rank 11th in run defense and gave up 11 TD’s on the ground. The Chargers registered 28 sacks and had 15 INT’s. On offense, the Chargers rank 7th in passing and scored 34 touchdowns through the air. They rank 20th in rushing and scored 13 touchdowns on the ground.

On defense, the Steelers rank 1st against the pass and gave 12 passing touchdowns. They rank 2nd against the run and gave up 10 TD’s on the ground. The Steelers registered 51 sacks and had 20 INT’s. On offense, the Steelers rank 15th in passing and scored 19 touchdowns through the air. They rank 23rd in rushing and scored 16 touchdowns on the ground.

Chargers QB Philip Rivers had an outstanding regular season with 4,009 passing yards and 34 touchdowns while throwing just 11 INT’s. That being said, Rivers had his worst game of the season back in Week 11 against the Steelers as he passed for just 164 yards and threw two interceptions. It’s obvious that the weather had an impact on the passing game in that one but so did the Steelers punishing defense. Philips was sacked twice in that game and he also lost a fumble. With weather being less of a factor this time around we expect better, though not huge, numbers from Rivers in this one. Expect Rivers to pass for 220 yards and 1 TD in this game. It was revealed this week that RB LT2 has a torn tendon in his groin and he is expected to miss this weekends game. As disappointing as it is for the Chargers and Fantasy owners, you should leave LT2 off your roster this weekend. That means that RB Darren Spoles will get the start for the Chargers with RB Michael Bennett acting as the backup. When given his chances, Sproles has been lights out for the Chargers. In his last two games Sproles has racked up 292 total yards of offense and has scored four times. At 5′ 6″ Sproles seems to get lost in the shuffle and then suddenly squirts out of the pile and he’s gone. That was evident by his TD in OT against the Colts last weekend. The Steelers have had the entire week to game plan for the little fire bug and that’s not good news for the Chargers or Sproles. If you are going to start Sproles against the punishing Steeler run defense you should do so with your expectations in check. We will be shocked if he can manage anything over 80 total yards and we don’t see him scoring in this one. WR Vincent Jackson comes into this game with a pending DUI charge hanging over him but is expected to play this weekend. Jackson did not have a single catch and was targeted just once last week against the Colts. Back in Week 11 the Steelers held Jackson to two catches for 25 yards. Expect somewhat better numbers from him in this one but keep your expectations in check. We suggest 60 yards on four catches should be just about right for VJ in this one. We don’t expect much production out of WR Chris Chambers in this game either. Chambers started the season with 4 TD catches in his first three games but injuries hampered his production the rest of the way. Anything over 50 yards would be a bonus. TE Antonio Gates has also been dealing with various injuries throughout the season but was the most productive receiving option for the Chargers last weekend. Gates caught eight passes for 87 yards and he will see a lot of looks in this game as well. We see a six catch, 55 yard day with the lone Chargers TD coming from Gates in this one.

The Steelers have their own share of injury concerns as they prepare for the Chargers this weekend. QB Ben Roethlisberger is dealing with concussion symptoms but has practiced all week and is expected to start. Big Ben is a good game manager and is as tough as they come but he rarely produces big Fantasy numbers. We see a 230 yard 1 TD day from him in this one. The Steelers will want to control the time of possession in this game and that means the Chargers can expect heavy doses of RB Willie Parker and RB Mewelde Moore. Parker will get the majority of the carries and we see him totaling close to 100 yards and 1 TD. Moore will spell Parker from time to time throughout the game but shouldn’t be started as his production should come in at about 45 total yards. RB Gary Russell will also see some limited touches for the Steelers and could vulture a TD at the goal line in this one. The Steelers spread the ball around when it comes to passing and that means Hines Ward, Santonio Holmes and Nate Washington will all contribute somewhat in this game. Ward is clearly the go to guy for Big Ben and we see a 70 yard and 1 TD game from him in this one. Holmes and Washington should both pitch in with about 40 yards each. TE Heath Miller has averaged 4.5 catches and 46 yards per game since Week 12 and should have similar production again this weekend.

Bottom Line: The Chargers up and down season will end on a down note as the Steelers defense will dominate the game and be too much for this West Coast crew to handle.

STATS SCORE: Steeler 24 Chargers 10.

That’s it for the Backyard Brawl Weekend forecasts as we look forward to some great football this weekend.

Enjoy The Games Everybody!

    Urban isn’t a TE. He is a WR, fourth on the Cards’ depth chart.
