Deadspin
For whatever reason, everyone seems to be sleeping on this game. We are wary of that; this seems like the game with the most potential to be a wild 41-38, last second field goal type of game.
But if you listen to pretty much everybody talking about the game ... well, nobody trusts Norv.
• Cool Standings: Chargers.
• Football Outsiders: Colts.
• Matt Pitzer: Colts.
• Dan Shanoff: Colts.
• With Leather: Colts.
• Michael David Smith: Colts.
• Big Daddy Drew: Colts.
• AJ Daulerio: Colts.
• DEADSPIN: Chargers. Seriously, everyone: This team, Gates or no, they're pretty talented, right? We didn't imagine that, did we? For one day, we say Norv is vindicated.
Your thoughts?

Sometimes I think LT just runs so he can get away from Phillip Rivers.

"This team, Gates or no, they're pretty talented, right?"
No, not really. The Colts almost beat them without Gonzalez, Harrison, Clark, and several starters on D a couple of months ago.
@JohnCocktosten:
Seal.
LT will have the pacifier in his mouth, sulking on the bench with about 10 minutes to go in the 2nd quarter. then he'll pass it off as being a highly competitive person. riiiiiight.
21-18

NORV! is going to need a priceless pep talk at halftime.
Umm, this is the kiss of death, but Colts 24-13. Sand Diego didn't fire Norv, did they? Ok, then.
LT was running in the park yesterday. He was wearing some really short shorts. I think I saw his butthole.
I've been pretty bummed not watching the Eagles in the postseason but it's afforded me the opportunity to get really, really baked off my ass all weekend.
Defending Super Bowl champs at home against a Norv Turner led team? Sounds like the U.S. vs. Grenada.

It's pretty much a given that Phil Rivers drives a Dodge Stratus, right?

Colts.
Can't wait for the hoedown at Jermaine's club afterward.
@JohnCocktosten: Forgot to add Robert Redford in that category
@JohnCocktosten: Ron Karkovice has them all beat.
@Refreshments in the Narthex: When my dog barks, her butthole pushes outwards, like it's trying to bark as well.
Which never fails to remind me of Norv Turner.

Not to go too far out on a limb here, but I think if Peyton Manning throws more than 7 touchdown passes, Indy has a good shot at winning.
@Chicago Jones: That's not fair. His competition is more along the lines of Mandy Patinkin in Alien Nation and an actual crocodile.
