With the 2010 NFL season just around the corner, Sports Interaction betting analyst Al Dannity breaks down the divisional races in the AFC.

The AFC West promises yet more dominance from San Diego in 2010. LaDainian Tomlinson might be gone, along with Antonio Cromartie, but these Bolts are younger, tougher, and ready to dominate. It helps that the Chargers are in the AFC’s weakest division. Denver enters 2010 without Brandon Marshall and is very much in a rebuilding phase, with Tim Tebow expected to only appear in situational play during his rookie year. Oakland will be better but the Raiders still have too little to offer on offense to cause any real problems for San Diego. Kansas City will also look better in 2010 but this is another team with too many holes to challenge the Chargers. Bet on the San Diego Chargers at -400 to win the AFC West and win big with Sports Interaction.

The Indianapolis Colts have their work cut out in 2010 if they are to retain control of the AFC South. Tennessee looks set to take some big steps forward with a rejuvenated Vince Young under center. Houston meanwhile has no shortage of weapons on offense and finally has the defense required to push the Colts all the way. Even Jacksonville will prove a handful on its day in the NFL’s deepest division. For all the promise of these three franchises, I just can’t look past the team that has Peyton Manning under center. Take the Colts at -217 to win the AFC South and win big with Sports Interaction.

The AFC North should provide a compelling battle between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Baltimore Ravens. Both teams have beefed up their receiving talents in 2010 in order to make the best use of their big-armed quarterbacks. This is bad news for Cleveland which is stuck with Jake Delhomme to guide them through a division loaded with gunslingers. Pittsburgh will have to get by without its big arm at the start of the season as Ben Roethlisberger will miss at least the first four games through suspension. Without Big Ben early on, it will be tough for Pittsburgh to contend. I like the Ravens to stand tall at the end of the season, winning the AFC North at -139 with Sports Interaction.

Finally we come to the AFC East. Miami made a big move bringing in Brandon Marshall. New England stayed clear of any big trades or free agency signings, while Buffalo had trouble attracting anyone. As for the Jets? They were the most active team in off-season trading and look set to prosper in 2010. The bulk of the team that rumbled to the AFC Championship game last season is back and with some new faces this team can expect more success in 2010. Take the New York Jets at +125 to win the AFC East and win big with Sports Interaction.

NFL on Christmas Day – San Diego vs. Tennessee

NFL Pro Football Betting

San Diego Chargers (11-3 SU, 7-7 ATS) at Tennessee Titans (7-7 SU, 6-8 ATS)
Friday, December 25 – 7:30 PM ET

BetUS NFL football betting odds: TENNESSEE -3, Total 47

In the BetUS NFL football betting odds, the Titans are listed as a three-point favorite, with a posted total of 47 points.

Here are some NFL football betting trends as they relate to this matchup:

SD has covered five of its last seven games
SD has won its last nine games SU
SD has played four of its last six games OVER the total
SD has covered four of its last five road games
SD has won its last five road games SU
TENN has won seven of its last eight games SU
TENN has won its last five home games SU
SD has won and covered the last five meetings

The San Diego Chargers are at it again. The Chargers are on their annual late-season tear, winning nine straight games, and have taken command in the AFC West, which is theirs, despite the fast start of the Denver Broncos.

This kind of thing can occasionally last through the first round of the playoffs, then it stops there as San Diego fades. But as it stands now, they have won 17 straight games in the month of December and have pleased many of their football betting backers.

The Tennessee Titans have had, in their own way, a remarkable season. The Titans lost their first six games, and that included games where they rolled over against Indianapolis and Jacksonville. The nadir was a shameful, disgraceful 59-0 loss at New England, after which they made the change from Kerry Collins to Vince Young at quarterback and salvaged something out of their season.

Young has led the team to seven wins in eight games, with the only loss to the undefeated Colts, and Young has salvaged something out of his career, which appeared in the dumpster after Collins led the team to a 10-0 record to start last season. he has thrown ten TD passes, including three against the Dolphins last Sunday, with just four pickoffs. At 7-7 (6-8 ATS in the football betting odds), Tennessee is still breathing in the playoff race, and after blowing a lead to Miami last week, they came back in spirited fashion to win the game in overtime.

The difference between these running attacks is tremendous. While San Diego has the underachieving and washed-up LaDainian Tomlinson, Tennessee features Chris Johnson, who has become this year’s best running back in the NFL, with 1730 yards, 5.7 yards a carry, and nine straight games with over a hundred yards. Last week against the Dolphins he had 104, which was actually his lowest total since October 11.

There may be differences in the motivational level of these teams. San Diego has, for all intents and purposes, wrapped up the #2 seed for the AFC after beating the Bengals last week, while the Titans, even without a clear “path” to the playoffs, per se, can stay alive by winning.

Hey, if they were going to stop playing hard, they would have thrown in the towel about eight weeks ago. They didn’t. I wonder if Young’s legs might wear out this defense that has to travel to the east coast on a short week. We’re laying the points with the Titans, the three-point favorite in the BetUS NFL football betting odds.
