Allen is 2nd in MVP voting odds right now.

Rivers isn’t even on the list.

I looked this up just for you, even though I know you will ignore it.

Philip Rivers has been one of the best at his position for as long as he's been in the NFL, but a Lombardi Trophy has always been just out of his grasp. However, despite his inability to make the Super Bowl, he's been automatic money whenever he plays in the first round of the playoffs.

Rivers has rewarded every bettor that's put money on the Chargers in the first round of the postseason, going an undefeated 3-0 in Wild Card games throughout his career.

Rivers and the Chargers won Wild-Card games in 2007, 2008, and 2013. Rivers didn't throw for over 300 yards in any of those games, but the Chargers did rush for over 150 yards in the last two, indicating Melvin Gordon and the Chargers ground game could be the deciding factor in this game too.

Rivers' perfect Wild Card record will be put to the test this weekend when the underdog Chargers face the Baltimore Ravens and their No. 1 defense Sunday afternoon. Their first meeting wasn't great for Rivers.

The Ravens got to Rivers early and often the first time these teams played one another and the veteran signal-caller consequently struggled, throwing for just 181 yards while tossing two interceptions.

Anything is possible in the playoffs, however, and if history remains on Rivers' side, the Chargers will move on to the next round.

BTW, Rivers beat the Raven so he is 4-0 in the wildcard round.
