Football Betting Action - AFC Championship Conference
Following
Saturday's 31-20 victory over the Jacksonville
Jaguars as the 13½-point
favorites in the division title game, Tom
Brady and company will appear in the AFC's
conference championship game for the fifth
time in seven seasons.
When playing in conference title games
they are 4-1 ATS (against the spread) in
their last five, but they have failed to
cash in their last four games overall.
Brady set another individual record in
the non-cover win, by tossing 26 completions
in 28 attempts, an NFL record 92.9 percent
for regular-season and playoff games. As
well, he threw three touchdown passes and
racked up 262 yards, which may be bad news
for Patriots backers versus San Diego considering
New England is 0-5 ATS in their last five
games after accumulating more than 250
yards passing in their previous game.
But despite New England's dominance on
both sides of the ball, New England has
dropped the cash in six of their last seven
games, including last week's playoff contest.
Last season, the Patriots lost to Indianapolis
in the AFC title game, 38-34, after squandering
an 18-point lead. New England will host
next Sunday's AFC's conference game at
Gillette Stadium against San Diego.
However, home cooking hasn't help New
England lately as they've covered the number
at home in just one of their last five
games at Gillette Stadium.
San Diego earned the right to play the
Patriots by knocking off the Colts 28-24
Sunday at the RCA Dome as the double-digit
underdogs. Despite having LaDainaian Tomlinson
and Philip Rivers on the sideline, it was
the Chargers eighth consecutive SU (straight
up) win, covering the spread in every game
during the win streak. The Chargers are
43-20-2 ATS in their last 65 games overall.
The Patriots
beat the Chargers as the 3½--point
favorites at home in Week 2, as Brady
threw for 279 yards (25-of-31) and three
touchdowns as New England routed San
Diego 38-14.
Chargers' Philip Rivers threw for just
63 yards and had two interceptions in the
first half, and ended up going 19-of-30
for 179 yards and two touchdowns in the
loss.
When the Patriots and Chargers meet, the
over has cashed in the last four meetings,
and New England has covered the spread
in five of the last seven games between
the two.
This should be another high-scoring game
with the perfect Patriots and red hot Chargers
playing for rights to appear in Super Bowl
XLII. NFL odds list New England the early
14-point favorites with a game total of
49, which may favor San Diego considering
the underdog is 4-1 ATS in their last five
meetings.
With history, perfection and a potential
trip to the Super Bowl on the line, you
won't want to miss this one Sunday at 3:00pm
EST. There will be live wagering offered
throughout the game.
