San Diego Chargers Odds to Win the AFC

Crunch Sports Staff, 22 Dec 2020

The Chargers are the value pick in the AFC playoffs.

With the Indianapolis Colts undefeated they have obviously drawn most the attention for the AFC championship.  However nobody is really writing off the San Diego Chargers especially since they have won 9 games in a row.

When it comes to sports betting a lot of people, correctly, place more emphasis on recent trends than longer termed ones.  The three losses that the Chargers have in their record can therefore be considered to be ancient history because they all occured in the early part of the season.  From this perspective, a shorter termed one, San Diego and Indianapolis can both be considered to be pretty evenly matched teams.

While Indianapolis have the better overall record, both teams have the same record in their last nine games.

Our recommendation is to ignore the 3 losses that San Diego suffered near the start of the season and instead regard them as a team that can compete with the Colts.  Since the Colts have really short odds and the Chargers can be found with +300 (3/1; bet365) odds to win the AFC championship, that makes San Diego the correct value pick.
