The San Diego Chargers, (11-5 SU, 11-5 ATS, 8-6-2 O/U) came close to making 2007 a special year, but ran into some injury problems that had them short-handed against the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game. If LaDainian Tomlinson, Antonio Gates, and Philip Rivers would have been at 100% then the Patriots might not have even had the chance to lose to the New York Giants.
Fast forward to 2008 and the Chargers will be in the second year of the Norv Turner era. That means that players should be used to the system from the get go, and a Super Bowl is what's expected If you love NFL betting, then head on over to BetUS because they have plenty of wagers on San Diego for the upcoming season
If you took San Diego every week last season then you made some profits as the Chargers were 7-1 ATS in San Diego and a solid 4-4 ATS away from home. The Chargers felt like they needed to improve their secondary so they drafted cornerback Antoine Cason with their first overall pick. The Chargers also wanted to get a replacement for running back Michael Turner, who bolted for the Falcons in the off-season.
San Diego fans have to be happy with how their team has performed in recent years, but the window of opportunity is closing as LaDanian Tomlinson is getting up there in years. The Chargers will be one of the top teams in the AFC, but they still have some weaknesses at wide receiver and with a backup running back. They are good, but can they beat the New England Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts in order to get to the Super Bowl?
Here are the Chargers' 2008 NFL Draft Picks.
Round 1 (27): Antoine Cason CB Round 3 (69): Jacob Hester FB Round 5 (166): Marcus Thomas RB Round 6 (192): DeJuan Tribble CB Round 7 (234): Corey Clark G 2008 NFL Odds -400 to win AFC West +400 to win AFC Championship +700 to win Super Bowl XLIII |
