The San Diego Chargers have finished the season on a tear. They have put all their early season problems behind them and are coming into the playoffs playing very good football. Odds makers rewarded that today, when they made the Chargers nine point favorites over Tennessee.
The rest of the lines for next week's games also reflect how teams played during the final stretch of the season. The Jaguars are favored on the road against the higher seed, the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jacksonville won a few weeks back in Pittsburgh, and that, coupled with a season ending injury to Willie Parker, leaves the Steelers as home 'dogs.
In Seattle, the betting line is closely related to the two teams playing. Washington finished the season stronger than the Seahawks, but Seattle is still favored by three and a half. They have shown flashes of being in the NFL's elite, and are extremely difficult to beat at home.
The other game this weekend could end up being the toughest to handicap out of the four games. The Giants always seem to do the opposite of what people predict. Tampa Bay has played well enough to be considered a threat, but also poorly enough at times to have experts believe they might have been the beneficiary of a weak division.
The games start on Saturday at 4:30 and conclude on Sunday with a 4:30 game. |
