LA Chargers: Team preview and prediction for 2020 season


LA Chargers Week 5-8:
Week 5 at Saints
Another tough game for the Bolts to win at Drew Brees and the Saints. They’ve lost four of their last five games against the Saints and Brees is 3-0 against his former team.
LA Chargers record: 2-3
Week 6 vs. Jets
Now I think we could see Justin Herbert come in to face a down-ish slate of defenses the next several weeks. Although Tyrod is 5-2 versus the Jets in his career, this seems like a really good spot for a young Herbert to come in at home and put on a strong performance. Sam Darnold in his home state is something to keep an eye on, but I think the Bolts can take this one.
LA Chargers record: 3-3
Week 7 at Dolphins
With the exception of last year’s game in Miami, the Chargers’ last time they won in Miami was in 1982. The Fins always give the Chargers a rough time.
LA Chargers record: 3-4
Week 8 vs. Jaguars
I thought the Jags were a team that usually gave the Bolts a lot of trouble, but the Chargers have actually won seven of their last eight games against the Jaguars. Tougher defense for Justin Herbert to face with two legit corner I really like in CJ Henderson and Tre Herndon, but I think his own defense will come through for him.
LA Chargers record: 4-4
