NFL Playoff Betting - Patriots and Chargers Total Talk

If you bet on the
NFL, you’ll already
know what the Jacksonville Jaguars appear not
to have understood when they played the Patriots
last week and lost handily. It would appear as
though the Jags game plan had but one goal: do
not get beat deep, and especially not by Randy
Moss. While this kind of thinking is understandable
if your goal is to lose the game, but still be
able to say you weren’t beaten by the most
obvious of New England weapons, it did not, nor
will it this week for San Diego, save Jacksonville
from the same fate as every other opponent so
far this year.

Sure, you can take
away the long bomb, but you simply can’t
expect to divert so many of your resources
to doing it that you leave Tom Brady with all
day to throw short and intermediate passes.
He will eat you alive. What the Jags did is
allow Brady to set one of the easiest records
he has ever set. By going 26 of 28, Brady set
not only a playoff record for completion percentage
in a game with at least 20 passes thrown, he
set an all time NFL record, and could easily
have gone 28 for 28. The Chargers will have
to play smarter, but still, taking away from
the passing game will open up lanes for the
underrated Patriots rushing game.

Once that running
game gets going, Tom Brady becomes even more
dangerous out of the pocket with his play-action
attempts. The only time the Chargers will be
able to an extra defender in the box is on
short yardage plays, and even then, Belichick
could very well call a pass play, knowing he
has a very good chance of picking up the first
down if he takes the chance and has to go for
it on fourth. If the Chargers can bring pressure
up the middle, it will be their best chance
to disrupt Brady’s rhythm,
but not many teams can do this without getting
burned downfield. In fact, no team has done it
successfully for more than a play or two this
season.
This game does
not look very good on paper for the San Diego
Chargers and if football betting is something
you do to put more excitement into the game,
this 14-point spread has to be a little intimidating.
From the looks of these two teams, however,
the chances are better that you’ll
be more excited and stand a better chance at
winning your wager with the BetUS sportsbook
if you lay some on the Pats. If the line is a
little large for your liking, try teasing it
a few points, giving you a better chance to increase
your bankroll.
