The Chargers were one six teams that made multiple appearances in the Super Bowl predictions portion, as ESPN’s Aaron Schatz had them playing their crosstown rival in next year’s big game at SoFi Stadium.<\/p>\n
That’s right, I’m predicting a fight for Los Angeles at SoFi Stadium. Two home teams! The Rams were No. 1 in offense this season, and offense is more consistent than defense. The Chargers will get back their offensive tackles and added Mike McDaniel to coordinate the offense, plus they have a ton of cap space to address their offseason needs.<\/p>\n
Super Bowl predictions aside, some expect the Chargers to go even further than just a third straight postseason appearance.<\/p>\n
ESPN’s Mike Tannenbaum’s big prediction for next season is the Bolts capturing the division for the first time under Head Coach Jim Harbaugh.<\/p>\n
The Chargers will take a big step and win the AFC West. With offensive tackles Joe Alt and Rashawn Slater healthy, and Mike McDaniel bringing some energy, Justin Herbert & Co. get over the hump and win the division.<\/p>\n
There’s plenty of moves and time in the offseason for the Chargers to bolster their odds heading into 2026, but one thing for sure is they have a lot of excitement going forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Chargers were one six teams that made multiple appearances in the Super Bowl predictions portion, as ESPN’s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":747499,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2064],"tags":[37,5245,241,7,34,38,1014,262,2444,2443,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-747498","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles-chargers","8":"tag-app-homepage","9":"tag-articles-bolts-buzz","10":"tag-chargers","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-homepage-cp","13":"tag-homepage-headlines","14":"tag-los-angeles","15":"tag-los-angeles-chargers","16":"tag-losangeles","17":"tag-losangeleschargers","18":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116058874699253721","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/747498","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=747498"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/747498\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/747499"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=747498"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=747498"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=747498"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
