Football Betting: AFC West Over/Under Regular Season Wins Predictions

San Diego Chargers (Ov/Un: 11) 2009: 13-3 The Chargers have won 11 or more games in four of the last six seasons. San Diego has faced little resistance in the AFC West in recent years. An era has ended for the franchise. After an incredible run with the team, running back LaDainian Tomlinson is now with the New York Jets. Top draft pick Ryan Matthews will take over in the club's backfield. This year, San Diego will face the NFC West and AFC South. In five of its first six games of the season, the Chargers will face squads that posted losing records in 2009. Its unique matchups are against New England and Cincinnati. Prediction: Over Denver Broncos (Ov/Un: 7.5) 2009: 8-8 Denver suffered only one losing season in the last decade. The club has faded in each of the last two seasons after coming out of the gates quickly. With the departure of star wideout Brandon Marshall in the offseason, Denver's offense has plenty of question marks entering 2010. Rookie quarterback Tim Tebow will bring a new dynamic to the unit. The defense will look to build on last year's rapid improvement. In the first half of the season, the Broncos will face a stretch of four straight games against the Colts, Titans, Ravens and Jets. Prediction: Over Kansas City Chiefs (Ov/Un: 6.5) 2009: 4-12 The Chiefs have been limited to a total of just ten wins over the last three seasons. With a pair of 1,000 yard runners (Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones) in the backfield this season, the club's ground game could enable Kansas City to hang around on most Sundays in 2010. A defense that has struggled badly in the last couple of years must improve for the Chiefs to become respectable. In its first five games of the season, Kansas City will face only one team that posted a losing record in 2009. Its unique contests are against Buffalo and Cleveland. Prediction: Under Oakland Raiders (Ov/Un: 6) 2009: 5-11 Oakland has been limited to five or less wins in each of the last seven years. However, the arrival of former Redskins quarterback Jason Campbell has brought a little hope to the franchise this offseason. The Raiders will need a weak group of receivers to develop to aid the passing attack. A defense that features some talented performers needs to become more consistent. In its first seven outings of 2010, Oakland will face only one club that had a losing record last season. Its unique games are against Miami and Pittsburgh. Prediction: Under
