Chargers vs. Jets Playoff Preview

The Chargers in their first playoff game of the season, will be hosting the New York Jets.  San Diego is coming off a bye week, and everyone seems to be healthy.  Having healthy players will be critical for the Bolts, since the Jets have one of the top defense in the league.  New York has only allowed 8 passing touchdowns, which is a remarkable feat for any team.  Considering the only good team they beat was the Patriots, twice, and we all know where they are now.  Cornerback Darrelle Revis is the Jets shutdown corner, and he will be responsible for guarding 6'5" receiver Vincent Jackson.  New York Jets coach Rex Ryan earlier in the week  was upset that Revis wasn't voted defensive player of the year.  If you look at Charger DB Quentin Jammer's stats and Revis they are nearly identical.  Jammer has 58 tackles and 3 int's. Revis has 54 tackles and 6 int's.  Chargers also have a better team and an established quarterback in Phillip Rivers.  New York will be starting Rookie QB Mark Sanchez, who led the AFC with 20 interceptions.  The Jets will rely on their number one rushing offense.  New York has a one two punch with Running Back Thomas Jones and Rookie Shonn Greene.  Chargers need to key in on stopping the run of the Jets, who have an excellent offensive line.  If San Diego can contain the run game, than they have an excellent chance of pulling out the victory.  On offense the Chargers need to score quickly and often, because the Jets have a tendency to stick around if you let them.  This game will be airing at 1:40 pm on CBS.  Gather everyone around the TV, and witness the Chargers send the Jets packing early.  Prediction: Chargers 31 Jets 17
