Chargers Betting

Are you kidding me? How the hell did the Jets go into Cincinnati and win that game last week. We know Palmer was hurt but they had Cedric Benson back, and were at home. We always like a juicy upset but not when we had so much riding

With emotions running high on both sides of the ball, one team (Florida) will benefit greatly. The other will suffer an embarrassing loss on New Year’s Day. Cincinnati is playing without former head coach Brian Kelly, who led the Bearcats to significant success in recent years

Be very careful the next 2 weeks in your bets, as some lines might seem a little strange, as teams try to make the playoffs and other teams try to play spoiler. We are going to start this week with our weekly teaser bet, and include a great Christmas Day game in it

We got a good one for you here. San Diego is quietly playing like the best team in football lately while Dallas is doing their usual “folderoo” late in the season. We do have to give them credit for giving the Giants a harder fight than we expected last week in N.Y

This is the time of the year that certain teams make a playoff push (San Diego) while others play hard in order to save their jobs(K.C.). Kansas City not only covered last week they beat the Steelers outright in overtime

Not quite the same allure as the Red River Rivalry between Texas and Oklahoma, but this week’s Bedlam Rivalry game is Oklahoma State’s Super Bowl. The Cowboys have had a tremendous season so far and Oklahoma is sitting at 6-5, ensured of its worst season since 1999

Virginia coach Al Groh has beaten the Cavaliers’ arch rival Hokies just one time in his nine years at UVA. He and the Cavaliers look to make that number two and possibly avoid his firing this Saturday in Charlottesville. The Hokies are in a down year at 8-3 and will not contend for the ACC Championship,

Despite an 11-0 record up to this point, Alabama still realistically needs to win its next two games to get into the National Championship. With Florida a perfect 11-0 as well, the Crimson Tide will need to beat Auburn this week and Florida in the SEC Championship

Boise State doesn’t play too many home games where they are only 14 point favorites, but that is exactly what they are this week when Nevada comes to play on the blue turf. Boise State needs a win this week, and badly. Though the Broncos are 11-0, their only hope for a BCS appearance

At first glance you might think that it was quite a shocker that Oakland beat Cincinnati last week, but at we said the Bengals were coming off their biggest win in years and might be flat. We also felt that Jamarcus Russell was hindering the Raider offense and the switch to anybody but he was the correct move

Denver is in trouble if they lose Kyle Orton for an extended period of time. Chris Simms has no talent and is only in the NFL because of his father. San Diego is playing much better as of late

F—king Phillip Rivers. His late touchdown drive vs the Giants last week cost me a 4 team parlay bet. Actually ,the fault lies with N.Y. for not putting it in the end zone from the 4 yard line, after they intercepted that pass with 3 minutes left. You had to know that Rivers would go right down the field, because that what Phillip Rivers does

I really don’t know where to begin with the Giants. They have the most talent of any team in football, and probably some of the most depth. They do however have one HUGE defect and that's at safety. The only hole in this team before the season was lack of depth at safety

After beating Philly 2 weeks ago the Raiders lost by 38 points to the Jets at home.San Diego got back on track by beating K.C. by 30.On paper this game is no contest. We have spoken before about, doing the opposite of common sense in sports betting and having some balls, but even I don’t have enough courage to take Oakland

We mentioned last week that Kansas City isn’t that bad, and then they upset the Redskins.San Diego is doing the same thing that they do every year, they play .500 ball all season then when they are all but eliminated they start to win games.

The Broncos have been making us money every week, and San Diego has been hot and cold. The Chargers have had 2 weeks to think about their pathetic defensive performance vs. Pittsburgh. In the 4th quarter they showed that when they are in trouble they can score very quickly.

The Sunday night game this week is a good one. The Steelers have had a tough time closing out games as their coach said. They did find a way to beat Tennessee but folded in the 4th quarter in losses to Chicago and Cincinnati

Both of these teams have problems. Miami really can’t play offense at the N.F.L. level. They look like a college or high school team at times, with their “Wildcat” offense and their quarterback who throws the ball like a shot put. Another quarterback, who has a funky delivery is Phillip Rivers

This game scares me, not only as a Giant fan but as a bettor. This is a trap game for the Giants. After 2 huge wins against division rivals, Dallas and Washington, they now play 3 games in a row versus bad teams

The next 2 games that we are picking, we are going a little bit out on a limb. There are 2 home dogs that both played very well last week as huge underdogs. Both teams had opportunities to win outright but didn’t.

Baltimore looked very impressive vs. K.C. last week. The offense is getting better and better, and you always know that the defense will be good.

Our second Monday night game is also tough to bet on. You can always place a fun 2 team parlay bet, on both games, just to enjoy them, but this is another dangerous game to bet on.

The Seattle Seahawks would like to forget that 2008 ever happened. Their 4-12 record (7-8-1 AGAINST THE SPREAD) was largely due to the injury of quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, who appeared in just seven games, throwing for a career low 57.8 quarterback rating last season.

Probably the most well known handicapping angle is the “Monday Night Home Underdog.”

Stop thinking about rain by itself as a bad weather indicator. Look at the mix of wind, turf quality, and precipitation. It's the mix that matters, not one third of the mix.

Bettors no longer have to look at mere sides and/or game totals to strike it rich as mostly all the online sports books (and many Las Vegas) outlets provide first and second half wagering lines along with quarter by quarter prices too on football betting.
