Patriots vs. Chargers SNF Week 6

Point spread for the week 6 Sunday night football clash between the New England Patriots and the San Diego Chargers plus the betting spreads, and betting trends for nfl football gambling.

NFL Week Six Trends – New England Patriots vs. San Diego Chargers

No Tom Brady? No problem! The New England Patriots came out last weekend after a bye week and showed why they are easily still one of the top teams in the AFC. The most impressive thing I saw out of this team, as an online betting fan, was how they got Randy Moss into the game early. With Moss catching passes, this team is very difficult to beat. That’s exactly what they did. Moss catches passes, New England plays well, and the Patriots beat the NFL online betting spread of 3 points by winning their game versus the 49’ers by 9 points.

They should find things tougher this weekend when they battle the San Diego Chargers. Then again, the Chargers haven’t been very good this season. First, the Chargers are terrible versus the BetUS online wagering spread. They’ve gone 2 and 3 against the online wagering spread since the season started. One of those victories versus the spread occurred when they scored 25 points in the fourth quarter versus the Oakland Raiders. That won’t happen this Sunday.

Here are the BetUS online wagering odds for this game.
Kick-off: 10/12/2008 8:15 pm est.

New England Patriots + 5 ½ – 110 + 220 O 44 ½ – 110
San Diego Chargers – 5 ½ – 110 – 260 U 44 ½ – 110

Here are a few online wagering spreads that might help us find a good online bet in this game.

The New England Patriots are 20 and 8 against the spread in their last 28 games on the road.
The New England Patriots are 1 and 6 against the spread in their last 7 games versus an AFC opponent.
The San Diego Chargers are 8 and 1 against the spread in their last 9 games at home.
The San Diego Chargers are 4-0-1 against the spread in their last 5 games versus a team with a winning record.

This is a key game for both teams. In particular the San Diego Chargers have to win this game. How do they do it? I’m not sure that they can. Neither Philip Rivers nor LaDanian Tomlinson has been as productive as so many NFL betting fans had hoped they would be before the season started.

The Patriots showed in their last game that they are actually capable of winning tough games. This will definitely be a tough game. If they have solved their offensive issues, then forget it. The Patriots could easily hand the Chargers their fourth loss of the year.

NFL Week 6 Prediction:

Because of that, I’m going to go ahead and put a few online betting dollars on the Patriots to win this game straight-up at those nice BetUS online wagering odds.

Then, I’m going go ahead and put some money on the Patriots to beat the online betting spread of 5 ½ points.
