We do know that it won&#8217;t be Philadelphia, who will open the season at home on Sept. 4 as the defending champs.<\/p>\n<p>And speaking of the Eagles, that&#8217;s my pick here, and not just because they&#8217;re the league&#8217;s most-recent champion.<\/p>\n<p>Ever since Jim Harbaugh and Joe Hortiz arrived, they have talked about building a team that wins football games by dominating in the trenches and with a smashmouth style on offense.<\/p>\n<p>You know which team does that better than anyone right now? The Eagles.<\/p>\n<p>Philadelphia&#8217;s identity features a menacing offensive line and powerful defensive line. Oh yeah, they also have that Saquon Barkley guy, too.<\/p>\n<p>How does the Chargers offensive line fare against Jalen Carter and Co.? How does the Bolts defense try and slow down Barkley? Who wins the battle between top-tier quarterbacks in <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chargers.com\/team\/players-roster\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Justin Herbert<\/a> and Jalen Hurts?<\/p>\n<p>The storylines here will be aplenty, even if we don&#8217;t yet know when this game will take place.<\/p>\n<p>Simply put, the home game against the Eagles will be an excellent measuring stick for who the Bolts want to be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With the schedule coming out next week, which game are you looking forward to the most?
