- The Indianapolis Colts closed out the season as the hottest team in the NFL winning their last 9 straight games. Indianapolis was completely written off after 3-4 start, but has rallied with a vengeance. The Colts travel across the nation to San Diego to battle with the Chargers Saturday night. San Diego is the first team since the 1985 Cleveland Browns to capture a playoff berth without a winning record. However, San Diego took advantage of a weak AFC West division and trampled the Broncos lJefferson Scores 32, Leads Timberwolves Past Warriors 115-108
The Minnesota Timberwolves, fresh off an embarrassing loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday in which they surrendered a 29-point lead, needed a game that was the polar opposite of that debacle. Enter the short-handed Golden State Warriors, who were missing Brandan Wright with a sprained wrist and Corey Maggette with a problematic hamstring. Apparently this was one of those times where home cooking and favorable matchups worked out in the Timberwolves’ favor as Al Jefferson poured in 32 pPlayoff. Now.
The Utah Utes gave America the best example why a playoff is needed. They whipped a pretty good Alabama team in the Sugar Bowl, completely an undefeated season. During the year, Utah defeated TCU, Oregon State, BYU and now Alabama. They also played a Michigan team that probably would have been good if Lloyd Carr did not retire. What if Michigan was good this year? A road victory over a 9-3 or even 8-4 Michigan team may have put Utah in the title game. Utah will get criticized for its scheduleGame Notes: Houston vs. Toronto

POCATELLO, Id. -- First of all, we have a chat today over at ESPN SportsNation at 4 p.m. Eastern, or 2 p.m. Mountain Standard. Don't forget! One last blast of mid-major mystery before we turn our attention solely to conference races, and forget that the top eight conferences exist -- a luxury we'll be able to afford until March. As we've been discussing all week, the number of mid- versus major games is plummeting.

Football forecast -- With all four weekend pro football playoff games held in warm-weather cities and a dome -- Phoenix, San Diego, Miami, and Minneapolis -- weather shouldn't be a major factor at any of the games. There is a very slight chance of showers and in San Diego for Saturday's night game and in Miami for Sunday's early game, but the rain shouldn't be enough to affect either game.
