Bet 42: £100 NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS to beat San Diego Chargers @ 1/8

Patriots didn't really have to break sweat beating the Jaguars last week, whilst the injury toll when the Chargers beat reining champs the Colts, is potentially terminal.

Running balance: £1,210.44

Post script: Tight to begin with, it was the Pat's defence who shined this week with Tom Brady having a decidedly average game. Four times the Chargers got into the Red Zone (only 20 yards to a touchdown and 7 points), four times they were stopped short and had to settle for a field goal and only 3 points. The Patriot's should cruise the Superbowl in a couple of weeks, the AFC is by far the stronger conference at the moment. Ironically it was the NFC teams of the Cowboys, the 49ers, the Redskins and the Giants that dominated when I first got into American Football in the 90's.
