Cool factor: ...it's football? Maybe watching the Saints beat the Seahawks? Oh i got it! Watching the first ever team with a losing record beat the current Superbowl champions?
Suck Factor: This will in all likelihood be a blowout.
Player to watch: Drew Brees
Brees casually taking his son for a stroll in the park.
Brees is basically the heart and soul of the Saints. Do you like movie-like motivations? Keep your eye on him at the beginning of the game. While I don't think that the saints NEED a great performance from him to win the game, I would be surprised if he doesn't put one on.
Colts Vs. Jets 7:00 PM CT
Cool factor: One of the greatest, most intelliget QBs of all time takes on a a young team led by a smack-talking coach in a playoff game.
Suck factor: If Manning struggles this could get ugly. But good TV!
Players to watch:
Peyton Manning
Mark Sanchez Darrelle Revis Ladainian Tomlinson
Second year QB Mark Sanchez may need to keep up with Manning; not an easy task.
Manning will try to keep the ball away from Darrelle Revis, arguably the best pass defender in the league.
Future pro-bowler Ladainian Tomlinson needs to become effective from the beginning of the game in order to minimize Manning's playing time. While his game has slowed down in the past years, he's looking to put on a big performance in order to keep his chances of reaching his first ever Superbowl.
Oochie wowchie! The first team with a losing record to reach the playoffs beats the superbowl champions!
