The 2009 NFL Season is quickly approaching and fans for every team are chomping at the bit for some NFL betting action. Nothing beats the thrill of betting on NFL live games and the upcoming NFL season should be no different. Fans of the San Diego Chargers are cautiously optimistic this year (almost like every year) that they’ll be a playoff contender again.
In our quest to be the ONLINE LEADER in NFL Gambling & NFL Handicapping information we’re way out ahead of the rest with our 2009 Divisional Previews for all 8 NFL divisions.
We will be covering the entire off season for each team and giving you a preview of the upcoming 2009 season with updates from now through kickoff of Week 1 of the NFL 2009/10 Season.
The San Diego Chargers needed overtime to beat the Indianapolis Colts but they did so. In beating the Colts, the Chargers beat a team that had won 9 straight games and was led by the reigning NFL MVP, Peyton Manning. But things don’t get easier for the 9 and 8 straight-up Chargers as they have to take their game to Pittsburgh to play the Steelers.
Sports betting fans can’t help but feel that the San Diego Chargers backed their way into the playoffs. The Chargers needed the AFC West division leading, at the time, Denver Broncos to lose three games in a row in order to make the playoffs. Well, that’s what happened. It doesn’t mean that the Chargers are all of a sudden worthy of the 8 to 1 BetUS online sportsbook wagering odds that they were at in the beginning of the season to win the Super Bowl.
Okay BetUS NFL sports betting backers, what’s wrong with this picture? The streaking Indianapolis Colts (12-4 SU, 8-7-1 ATS, 8-8 O/U) have won nine straight games in the BetUS Sportsbook and are arguably the hottest team in all of football heading into the postseason. Unfortunately, the Colts are one the road against the disappointing San Diego Chargers, (7-9 SU, 6-9-1 ATS, 7-8-1 O/U) who are riding their own four-game winning streak.
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 San Diego Chargers (5-8 SU, 5-7-1 ATS, 5-7-1 O/U) are coming off an emphatic 34-7 win over the Oakland Raiders last Thursday, covering the spread for NFL online betting backers as a 9.5-point home favorite. The Kansas City Chiefs (2-11 SU, 7-6 ATS, 6-7 O/U) are coming off a close 24-17 loss to the Denver Broncos but covered the spread as I predicted in the BetUS Locker Room as a 9-point road underdog.
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).
This should have been a good game. Okay, it might still be a good game from a sports betting perspective but the San Diego Chargers have turned into one of the worst teams in the AFC Conference this season. BetUS online sportsbook betting fans know about the Oakland Raiders, but the Chargers?
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 Chargers and Saints battle it out this Sunday in London, England, as good will NFL ambassadors. I’m sure coaches Norv Turner and Sean Payton are ecstatic about the prospect of flying to London, both teams already have, I’m sure, getting some practice time in among the various distractions, and then taking the field and trying to secure a victory in a must win situation for both teams.
The San Diego Chargers (3-4 SU, 3-3-1 ATS, 4-3 O/U), have alternated wins and losses in each of their last four games.
The New Orleans Saints (3-4 SU, 4-3 ATS, 4-3 O/U), have done them one better – alternating wins and losses in each of their last five games.
The San Diego Chargers are the Jekyll and Hyde of the NFL this season. I don’t understand this team. It’s been difficult as an online football betting fan to get a bead on a team that for some reason can look awesome against good competition and then tries to mail it in against bad competition.
The San Diego Chargers (3-3 SU, 3-2-1 ATS), coming off an important revenge win that evened their record, will travel back east on Sunday when they take on the Buffalo Bills (4-1 SU, 3-2 ATS), who are looking very good in the AFC East division, in NFL action that is scheduled to take place at 1 PM ET at Ralph Wilson Stadium (artificial turf) in Orchard Park, NY.
