Saturday, 1/5/2008

Washington Redskins 19
Seattle Seahawks 22

Jacksonville Jaguars 21
Pittsburgh Steelers 19

Sunday, 1/6/2008

New York Giants 18
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 21

Despite a solid showing against the Patriots in week 17, bettors do not like the G-Men in Tampa.

It appears that recent playoff disappointment for the Giants is weighing heavy on the minds of bettors this week.

Tennessee Titans 15
San Diego Chargers 25

There may be no hotter team heading into the postseason that the San Diego Chargers and sports investors feel that means blowout here. Oddsmakers liked the Bolts by 7 points at home initially and bettors have pulled out their pocketbooks to ramp this one all the way up to double digits.
