Quick Hits on the NFL Playoffs on Saturday

Falcons Vs. Cardinals

Anquan Bolden: He’ll play and be used in a variety of ways by Arizona to create a pseudo running game today. Bolden is an expert at catching short passes and gaining a lot of yards after the grab. The Cardinals don’t have a running game, so this will have to suffice. This can turn the game around if it works.

Falcons Running: It’s true that Michael Turner is simply one of the best. The other good news for Atlanta’s running attack concerns one Jerious Norwood. Norwood is a versatile threat who averaged 5.1 yards per carry and 9.4 yards per reception. Along with 489 yards on the ground, he also had 338 yards in catches. Norwood also notched 1,311 yards on kick returns this season.

Colts Vs. Chargers

LT: LaDainian Tomlinson’s tear in his tendon may keep him from playing today. The detached tendon connects to his adductor (groin) muscles to his pubic bone. He’s had some relief through physical therapy. But whether or not he plays will be a game time decision. If he does not play, the Charger’s running game will be severely crippled and so too will their chances of winning. Another problem for the Chargers is that TE Antonio Gates is questionable. Gates is essential to San Diego’s success, especially if  LT does not play.

Indy: For the most part, the Colts look healthy and 2008- 2009 MVP Peyton Manning is on his game. Look for him to spread the wealth today. He’ll also go long right at the top. This game is starting to look like a blowout for the Colts.
