Jeremy's Power Five

Is it just me or does Chad Johnson cramp up a lot? Anyways, onto my power five. After a convincing win last night, Indy is back on. My top two are my Super Bowl predictions at this point in the season. I think they are playing the best football right now.

Number Five: The New England Patriots - Just like Indy they needed a convincing win after an awful loss the week before. The Pats stepped up and proved they are something to be reckoned with in the post season. However, they will probably need some home field advantage to do anything significant.

Number Four: The Baltimore Ravens - McNair gets hurt?!?!? Who saw that coming. But, they continue to win games...with the easiest schedule in the league...if I haven't said that for the 100th time...so they'll remain at the top of the list. I really don't think they are as good as their record shows.

Number Three: The Indianapolis Colts - Good to see Dwight Freeney wake up from his season long slumber. They will need either Corey Simeon or Bob Sanders to get healthy if they are going to do anything in the playoffs. Their defense will get eaten up on the road without these guys.

Number Two: The Chicago Bears - They've had some bad losses and almost lost this week. But, they continue to win in the NFC. 10-0! That spells Super Bowl trip.

Number One: The San Diego Chargers -Playing the best football right now. I guess I was wrong about their usual end of the year slump. Their best contenders for the Super Bowl are Indy, Baltimore, and the Pats. Indy won't stop their running game or their 3-4 defense, Baltimore and the Pats can't win consistently on the road. Looks like LT might lead his team to the Super Bowl this year.

That's alright. I just want to see what would happen if the Bengals and the Colts met in the playoffs--you know, that wonderful part of the season that actually means something. I really hope the Colts lock up second place so that they can get the other AFC bye, cause that's the only way they won't get knocked out in the first round. See what I did there? They won't get knocked out in the first round, cause they won't actually be playing in it. What do you think the over/under will be on Peyton's (otherwise known as "the greatest quarterback ever") interceptions in the Colts' first (and only) playoff game this year. They showed an interesting graphic last night when they compared Carson and Peyton. It pretty much displayed Peyton's losing ways since all the way back in his choke days at UT (I'm sure your buddies down in TN remember that) compared to Carson Palmer's, what's that, National Championship win with USC. Huh, how oddly the past can (and will) mimic the present. I'll guess we'll see who pulls it together. I'm pretty sure the next time, if there is one, won't be anything like this one. The Bengals learn from their mistakes. The Colts, at least in the postseason, just seem to want to repeat theirs. Maybe they should give Sorgi a try. Couldn't hurt, right. Thanks for picking up the phone when we called last night, you jerk. I hope we can still be friends. lol and all the best, Justin Honeycutt--that guy you used to know/talk to
