San Diego Chargers Betting | 2009 NFL Betting Guide
The 2009 San Diego Chargers enter the year as a strong favorite to win the soft AFC West and they are a contender to win the Super Bowl. A slow start in 2008 with injuries to Rivers, LT, Merriman and suspension to Phillips contributed to the Chargers 8-8 in 2008. The Chargers are better in 2009 with healthier star in 2009. The 15th ranked scoring defense is looking to get better with a stronger pass rush from a healthy LB Merriman and 1st round pick OLB Larry English.

2009 San Diego Chargers Offensive Outlook
The offensive line should have a better start than in 2008. C Nick Hardwick was slow of the block recovering from off season surgery. Hardwick enters 2009 relatively healthy. G Mike Goff was the key off season loss and G Kynan Forney will battle for the spot with 3rd rounder Louis Vasquez. The offensive ranked 5th in scoring and should be one of the top offensive units in the NFL again as they have weapons at RB, WR and TE. The offensive line should be OK but watch for pass protection early in the season as Rivers has been sacked regularly in the preseason.
2009 San Diego Chargers Defensive Outlook
The 2009 Chargers return the same basic defense that was 5th in points allowed. DE Igor Olshansky left to Dallas via FA and DE Ryon Bingham and Jacques Cesaire will split time at end in the 3-4 Chargers scheme. A healthy Merriman will go a long way in improving a pass rush to help the secondary in pass coverage. The Chargers have a deep and talented LB corps with Shaun Phillips, LB Larry English, LB Tucker and LB Stephen Cooper.

NFL Future odds on San Diego Chargers Regular Season Wins Over 10.5 (-105) wins means that for every $105 bet will payout $100 if the Chargers win 12 regular season games or more. NFL preseason action has been on the Under as the Chargers have a tough start with Baltimore, Miami and Pittsburgh in their first 4 games. NFL wiseguys question Merriman's explosiveness from a returning ACL and see a declining LT and weaker pass protection.
