Let the final quarter of insanity in the NFL begin.

We bring it with a game of Boom or Bust, Schein 9 style.

1. The Cowboys and Chargers are frauds

This was my Super Bowl last year, so I know the frustration in banking on these teams. Some call them paper champions. But this is a bust, contrary to popular opinion.

Have you noticed how strong a Norv Turner-coached team is in December? They haven't lost during the Christmas season under Norv. That's pretty amazing. Did you see Tony Dungy on television Sunday night saying that the one team the undefeated Colts don't want to face is the San Diego Chargers? Sure, the Chargers sputtered to start the season. Injuries, bad run defense, Shawne Merriman's poor play and a struggling LaDainian Tomlinson were reasons why.
