By Lenny Del Genio Excuse us for the extended period between our previous division preview (AFC West) and this, our AFC South Preview, the fourth and final installment of our AFC division previews.

by Lenny Del Genio History was made in the AFC West in 2008 as the San Diego Chargers became the first team in NFL history to win a division crown after starting the season 4-8. Playing the role of choke artists were the Denver Broncos, who conversely became the first team in NFL history to blow a three-game lead in the division standings with only three weeks to play.

By Lenny Del Genio The AFC North was certainly case of the haves and have not?s in 2008 as there was an astounding seven-game gap between second and third place in the division standings. Alas, it was the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens squaring off in January with AFC Championship hanging in the balance, while both Cincinnati and Cleveland found themselves drafting in the top five of last April?s Draft. We... Read more

By Lenny Del Genio In last week?s playoff report, which was written upon the completion of the first two games of each of the eight first round playoff series, we went on the record stating that this NBA postseason was essentially the Cavs and Lakers, and then 14 other evenly matched teams that won?t be around for the NBA Finals. Fast forward to one week later (all series have now played minimum four games) and... Read more

For three days, we read numerous reports and listened to many so-called experts on TV tell us about the importance of home court advantage in NBA Playoff betting as well as how upsets ?never? occur in the postseason. However, a funny thing happened in the eight Game One?s played over the weekend ? four road underdogs won outright! Things got off to a shocking start as the Bulls upset the defending World Champion Celtics... Read more
