New York Jets VS San Diego Chargers 2010 AFC Playoff Prediction

New York Jets VS San Diego Chargers 2010 AFC Playoff Prediction: What this game comes down to is my life long belief that you just don’t give good teams close to double digits and live to cover many football games. That’s what the Chargers have up against their side in this one, and while the number is dropping (down to 7 in a few places) I still think the Jets rushing attack and pressure defense should keep this one close. Sure, the Jets were the team that just barely go in my the hair on the Colts’ backup’s chins, but they are playing good football, as seen by their 6 wins over their last 7 games.

And it’s not like the Chargers always blow teams out, oh no they don’t. San Diego has won their last 11 games straight up, and down pretty well against the spread 7-3-1 during that stretch, but 7 of those wins were by 8 points or less, and 4 of those were by a field goal or less. They are very good, no doubt, but I got them giving 9 points, and that’s way too much. Like I said, the Jets are built to be a cover machine. Anything can happen, I mean, this is sport, but the Jets average almost twice as many rushing yards per game than the Chargers and the Jets secondary has been playing lights out. San Diego can bring pressure, but the Jets have one of the best offensive lines in football. These things spell cover, I’m telling you.

No team has been better than the Chargers since Week 6, but these are the playoffs, and while I can definitely see the Chargers winning outright, I see a very slim chance that this game is a blowout. In a game that I expect to be close whatsoever, I always will take 9 points. Long live the underdogs!
