Yeah, I can get the team to win 3 games, maybe 4.

Re: Week 17
Looks like games played out to the point that SD can decide their destiny today.
Houston looses again.

Re: Week 17
Hope they are on a roll now. Would be nice to see them shake up the play offs.
Given the breaks needed by SD today, have to wonder about destiny.

This game is a rematch of the 1981 AFC Championship Game, better known as the "The Freezer Bowl." The Bengals beat the "Air Coryell" Chargers 27-7 in a game that featured a sustained wind chill of -37 degrees in the Queen City.
In NFL lore, the Freezer Bowl (January 10, 1982) was the 1981 AFC Championship Game between the San Diego Chargers and the Cincinnati Bengals. The game, won by the Bengals, 27–7, was played in the coldest temperature in NFL history in terms of wind chill.
(The coldest in terms of air temperature was the Ice Bowl.) Air temperature was −9 °F (−23 °C), but the wind chill, factoring in a sustained wind of 27 miles per hour (43 km/h), was −37 °F or −38 °C (calculated as −59 °F or −51 °C using the now outdated wind chill formula in place at the time).
The game was played at Cincinnati's Riverfront Stadium, and televised by NBC with announcers Dick Enberg and Merlin Olsen.

Before the Chargers took the field, Running back/Special teamer Hank Bauer tested the field conditions. Bauer recalled: "when I came out of that tunnel... man, it (the wind) just hit you-like somebody threw 100 knives at you."
When he returned to the locker room, he told his teammates: "Whatever you got on, take it off. Number one-you won't be able to move (with all the layers) and number two-it ain't gonna help."

Re: Week 17
I'm going with Rivers in the fantasy playoffs. He will be horrendous or legendary.
Re: Week 17
This is his chance. Cin looks pretty good though.

Blandino: Chiefs-Chargers FG error to stick with official
It's too late for the Kansas City Chiefs -- and the Pittsburgh Steelers -- but a penalty will be assessed due to the key missed call against the San Diego Chargers.
The official who missed the illegal formation by the Chargers on the Chiefs' potential game-winning field goal Sunday will have the mistake go on his record, the NFL's vice president of officiating Dean Blandino said.
A rekick might have won the game. SD probably got a bad call or two during the year though.It's too late for the Kansas City Chiefs -- and the Pittsburgh Steelers -- but a penalty will be assessed due to the key missed call against the San Diego Chargers.

Re: Week 17
Ugh. NFL will be hard on the Chargers that game.
