Tennessee Titans vs. San Diego Chargers Betting Odds: Find The Best Value

If you like the Tennessee Titans in Sunday's late day game against the San Diego Chargers, you will want to bet them at Bodog, one of the only online gambling websites offering the Titans at +10 1/2.   Should the Chargers win by 10 points, Titans bettors will still win their wagers with the +10 1/2.

 

New York Giants vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Betting Odds: Game Draws Even Action

The New York Giants vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers game may be drawing even action (50/50 to be precise), but the line on this one has been all over the map.  After opening at -1, the Bucs were now -3.  Granted, that is the line at all the online gambling establishments heading into this matchup.

There is of course a reason why the line has moved so much in favor of Tampa Bay.

The New York Giants face the difficult task of winning a road playoff game without three key starters.

 

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Pittsburgh Steelers, Washington Redskins vs. Seattle Seahawks: Latest Betting Odds

The latest betting odds have come in for both January 5, 2008 Wildcard Weekend Playoff games: The Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Pittsburgh Steelers and the Seattle Seahawks vs. Washington Redskins.  The later game is getting nearly even action on both sides.  Jacksonville is the biggest bet of the day, though action in that game is hardly lopsided either. 

 

Steelers Odds at +3 a Rarity

Should the Jacksonville Jaguars win by a field goal on Saturday, those who bet the Pittsburgh Steelers at +3 will enjoy added insurance with a "push".  The push means that gamblers neither win nor lose.  At most online gambling websites, a Jaguars 3 point win would mean a loss to Steelers bettors since the majority of online gambling sites were offering this one at Jacksonville -2 1/2.

 

Washington Redskins Fans Need the +3 1/2 Line

90% of the online betting sites were offering the Washington Redskins as +3 1/2 underdogs.  This is important to Redskins fans since the other 10% were offering the Skins at +3.  With the +3 1/2 line, Washington bettors can still win with a Seattle field goal victory.  betED.com was offering Redskins fans the +3 1/2 odds at press time.  It should be noted that the trend is to bring the line down further so it is very important that gamblers lock their bets in immediately as we could see more gambling sites move Washington to +3.
