2009 is going to be a two horse race between Arizona and Los Angeles. The other 3 teams are relying too heavily on un-proven players. San Francisco is the closest to contend but that will have to wait until 2010.
Here is how I see this division playing out in 2009.
BetUS NCAA Basketball Sports Betting Odds: SAN DIEGO -1.5
Here are some of the NCAA basketball sports betting trends as they relate to this matchup:
* SD has won four of its last five games SU
* SD has covered three of its last four games
Obviously the Chargers are a testament to the “never say die” attitude, as they looked well out of the division race but were playing hard anyway, just in case Denver would falter. The Broncos, not being a very good team, did just that. So that opens things up for a winner-take-all showdown that will decide the AFC West title, and will be the “Flex game” that NBC televises on Sunday night.
The San Diego Chargers (5-8 SU, 5-7-1 ATS) still have playoff hopes, feint as they are. On Sunday they will square off against the Kansas City Chiefs (2-11 SU, 7-6 ATS) in an AFC West game in NFL pro football sports betting action that is scheduled to get underway at 1 PM ET at Arrowhead Stadium (natural turf) in Kansas City.
The National Football League begins its 14th week of football betting action on Thursday night, and Bookmaker Sportsbook customers will get their chance to sink their teeth into all of the fantastic action when the Oakland Raiders (3-9, 5-7 ATS) invade Qualcomm Stadium to do battle with the San Diego Chargers (4-8, 4-7-1 ATS).
The opening round of the Paradise Jam tourney tips off on Friday, giving NCAAB sports betting fans an early look at a trio of Top 25 teams in action – No. 25 Wisconsin, No. 17 Miami, and the tournament favorite, No. 2 Connecticut.
The San Diego Chargers (3-5 SU, 3-4-1 ATS, 5-3 O/U) got a much-needed bye last week after dropping their last contest on Oct. 26 and three of four overall. The Kansas City Chiefs (1-7 SU, 4-4 ATS, 5-3 O/U) could seriously use a break as well, dropping four straight games in the BetUS Sportsbook.
Two teams who probably thought they would be doing a lot better at this time will lock horns on Sunday, as the San Diego Chargers (3-4 SU, 3-3-1 ATS) play the New Orleans Saints (3-4 SU, 4-3 ATS) in an NFL contest that will kick off at 1 PM ET at Wembley Stadium (natural turf) in London.
The two teams who faced each other in the AFC championship game a year ago will lock horns on Sunday, although it’s looking less and less like a preview of a rematch for that AFC title. The New England Patriots (3-1 SU, 2-2 ATS) travel to San Diego to face the Chargers (2-3 SU, 2-2-1 ATS) in this contest that is scheduled to kick off at 8:15 PM ET at Qualcomm Stadium (natural turf).
The San Diego Chargers, (2-2 SU, 2-1-1-ATS, 4-0 O/U), are starting to round into form BetUS NFL wagering fanatics!
After dropping their first two games of the season in heart-breaking fashion, the Chargers have bounced back nicely, winning consecutive games emphatically, including Sunday’s 28-18 win over the dysfunctional Oakland Raiders.
