Opening Football Line: Patriots -4 (46.5)
The San Diego Chargers and New England
Patriots are both coming off straight up
and against the spread wins. Now, the two
AFC powerhouses meet Sunday for what could
be a preview of this year's playoffs, and
what is arguably the best NFL betting game
of the week.
Last week, San Diego had their hands full
early on with defending NFC champion Chicago
before pulling out a 14-3 cover victory
as the 7-point favorites.
The Chargers collected a mere 263 yards
on offense in the win, as MVP running back
LaDainian Tomlinson had 17 carries and
one touchdown with a dismal 25 yards, but
did manage to hook up with All-Pro tight
end Antonio Gates for a 17-yard throwing
score. Tomlinson is 8-for-11 for 143 yards
passing in his career.
Defensively, the Chargers were stout.
The squad allowed just 202 overall yards
and held Chicago's running game to 84.
The Chargers have covered the spread in
four of their last five regular season
games at home, but now must attempt to
collect a payday on the road against the
Patriots, who have covered the spread in
four consecutive regular season games and
have cashed in nine of their last eleven
which includes last year's postseason.
Last week, New England generated an easy
38-14 cover win against the New York Jets
as the 6-point favorites. The Patriots,
who had oddsmakers respect as chalk to
win this year's Super Bowl lived up to
all the hype.
On offense, the unit racked up 431 yards
and Tom Brady threw three touchdowns while
going 22-of-28 for 297 yards. The defense
allowed 227 overall yards, 60 on the ground
and 167 passing.
NFL odds display New England 4-point favorites
with a total of 46.5. At home, the Patriots
manufactured a money-dropping 3-5 against
the spread record in 2006 regular season
contests. The Chargers were 4-4 against
the spread away from home in the same year.
San Diego would love to get revenge after
New England eliminated them 24-21 in last
year's AFC championship game, but don't
expect that to happen. The Charger's offense
looked suspect last week and if they perform
like that again, New England will post
an easy cover win.
