Outside of the New York Giants and Tennessee Titans, finding a clear-cut favorite to win the Super Bowl or even the Conference championship is about as tough as getting Ray Lewis to crack a smile on gameday.

The extremely level playing field of the 2008 NFL season has kept oddsmakers, like the ones here at Legendz, up late at night crunching the numbers for the AFC Wild Card matchups. After hours of debate and six pots of coffee, we've handed the points to both host teams.

Legendz opened with the Miami Dolphins as 3.5-point home underdogs against the Baltimore Ravens and posted the San Diego Chargers as 1-point pups versus the Indianapolis Colts.

Bettors have split on Sunday's game, keeping the line steady. However, early action on Saturday's tilt between the Colts and Bolts has moved the line to a pick'em as of Thursday night.

No matter where the lines travel for this weekend's AFC games, our customers can bank on Legendz's quick and easy payouts and expert customer service.

San Diego punched its ticket to the postseason with a huge win over the Denver Broncos last Sunday. Quarterback Philip Rivers pushed himself over the 4,000-yard mark on the season with 207 yards passing and two touchdowns against his arch rivals.

The Chargers have won four straight games heading into Saturday and meet another streaking squad in Indianapolis. The Colts have reeled off nine wins in a row since a slow start to the season.

While quarterback Peyton Manning has anchored this effort with MVP-worthy performances, it's Indy's defense that has made the difference. The Colts' stop unit has allowed just over two touchdowns per game during this stretch.

They defeated the Chargers 23-20 in San Diego Week 12 on a last-second field goal from Adam Vinatieri. That game came in the middle of the Bolts' midseason skid which saw them lose five of eight games with most of those defeats coming in crushing fashion.

Saturday's total is set at 50.5 points.
