On Saturday evening the San Diego Chargers did what a lot of critics thought they couldn't do (considering their 8-8 record on the season) and won the 25th overtime playoff game in 50 years with a 23-17 victory over the favorites Indianapolis Colts to advance to the AFC Divisional Round. Guess that regular season-ending charge to make the playoffs was for real.

Chargers' QB Philip Rivers threw for 217 yards on 20-of-36 passing, with 0 touchdowns and 1 interception.

And what did NFL MVP/Colts QB Peyton Manning have to say (after completing 25-of-42 passes for 310 yards and one touchdown on the night)?

"It was disappointing to lose a playoff game, especially a game we had some chances to win," said Manning. "The Chargers made the plays when it counted. Give them credit."

Can the Eagles (-3.5) beat the Vikings (+3.5)?

The Chargers will face either the Tennessee or Pitssburgh in the AFC Divsional Round of the NFL playoffs. But you can still get some action in on tonight's game against the Philadelphia Eagles and the Minnesota Vikings. Philadelphia is 9-1 ATS in its last 10 games when playing Minnesota, and 7-1 SU in its last 8 games (when playing Minnesota). Minnesota is 6-1 SU in its last 7 games at home, and is 5-1 SU in its last 6 games.
