Sport: NFLPick Selection: SD Chargers
At 4:30 pm, our selection is on the San Diego Chargers minus the points over Tennessee, as LaDainian Tomlinson & Co. fall into a longstanding NFL Playoff system that has cashed 70% ATS since 1980. Last year, the Chargers were 14-2 and had the league's best record, but San Diego was upset in its first playoff game by New England. Historically, these upset victims bounce back strong in their first playoff game the following year, and especially when they are at home, where they cash 70% ATS. Although these two teams played a tight, Overtime contest earlier this year, the last time they met in San Diego (at the start of last year), San Diego overwhelmed Tennessee 40-7. Tennessee won 16-10 last week over a disinterested Colts team, and probably wouldn't have made the playoffs if Indianapolis cared. Finally, double-digit underdogs are a money-burner in the post-season, including a dismal 5-14 ATS off a win of 6+ points. Take the Chargers. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. And don't miss my College Football Bowl Winner on Sunday night, or my LSU/Ohio State Winner tomorrow, as I'm 6-0 the past seven years in College Football Championship Games.
