January 11 - After an NFL season fraught with exhilaration, disappointment,
highlights and lowlights and much more, NFL betting fans can now shift
from regular season nail-biting mode into playoff nail-biting mode, as the
playoffs get underway starting with the New York Jets at the San Diego Chargers.
For NFL playoff betting fans this is it. The culmination of a long and
hard football campaign and there is everything to play for as the Super Bowl
beckons just around the corner. So what does this mean when it comes to the
highly anticipated AFC Divisional showdown between the Jets and the Chargers?
It means get your NFL odds and picks in line and your bets on buddy, because on
Sunday it's gonna kick off as the Chargers take on the Jets in San Diego. After
dispatching the Cincinnati Bengals 24-14 in the Wild Card round on Saturday, the
Jets put themselves in contention for this year's Super Bowl.
While many NFL betting fans see the Jets as the underdogs - which let's not kid
they are - stranger things have happened in previous NFL seasons than a team
that has been playing the way the Jets have beating a team that has been playing
the way the Chargers have. Heck, the Jets could go all the way.
Maybe I'm an optimist and maybe I just like underdogs. But whatever my
reasoning, one thing is for sure and that is that Sunday's game between the New
York Jets and the San Diego Chargers should be a real humdinger. And it seems
that the connections of both teams agree, as they start to gear up.
Said Jets coach Rex Ryan, 'Sometimes when you get in the playoffs, you think
wow, we're in the playoffs. But is it really reality to think you can win the
Super Bowl? When you lay it out in front of them, I think they can visualize it
and realize that, if we take care of our business, we can get this done.'
Perhaps a little more reticent in his comments, was top-rated Chargers
linebacker, Shawne Merriman, 'We've been there before. We've been the popular
pick to win the Super Bowl before and haven't. So our whole mentality this year
is completely different, in not looking too far ahead down the road.'
