San Diego Chargers 2010 Super Bowl Odds, Picks & Predictions: The San Diego Chargers’ 2-3 start now seems like an eternity ago, as the American Football Conference’s second seed might be the most dangerous this postseason. After stringing an incredible 11-game win streak to close out the NFL regular season, the Chargers clinched another AFC West title and will await the highest winning seed from the AFC Wild Card.
But how good are their chances to be in Miami come February 7, 2010? According to 2010 Super Bowl Odds makers at SPORTSBOOK.com, the San Diego Chargers [7/2] currently have the second best sports betting odds to win the 2010 Super Bowl XLIV this year!
One thing that certainly can’t hurt their chances at a2010 Super Bowl ring is having the commodity of resting some aching bodies for a week. Players like (LB) Shawne Merriman (plantar fasciitis), (WRs) Vincent Jackson (Achilles' tendon) and Legedu Naanee (foot), certainly appreciate the extra time off. "I feel all right," Merriman said. "I'm just resting. It's a big part of why I went the last few games, why I pressed the point to get to the position where we are now so I can hopefully get that little rest."
The Chargers Offense finished the NFL season ranked: Fourth in Points (28.4), Tenth in Yards (360.1), Fifth in Passing Yards (271.1) and Thirty-first in Rushing Yards (88.9). Meanwhile, San Diego’s Defense finished the NFL season ranked: Eleventh in Points (20.0), Sixteenth in Yards (327.0) Eleventh in Passing Yards (209.2), and Twentieth defending the Rush (117.8).
As you can see from these stats, the Chargers are FAR from invincible! They have no running game, they allow a fair amount of yards, and their defense is far from spectacular!
