The Los Angeles Chargers have high hopes in Year 2 of the Jim Harbaugh regime. However, after the Chargers fell to the Houston Texans in the Wild Card round, meeting those high expectations might be tough for the 2025 NFL season. Some Chargers predictions have them possibly winning the AFC West. Yet, this Chargers preview will have different picks. These Chargers’ bold predictions may surprise many.
Los Angeles has +2500 odds to win the Super Bowl, according to FanDuel. This ties them with the Denver Broncos for the 12th-best odds to win the title. Ultimately, it will come down to how Justin Herbert leads the offense and whether the defense can make the plays necessary. This Chargers preview will outline some of that.
The craziest Chargers’ bold predictions would be to make a Super Bowl prediction. Yet, this team does not seem ready for that. Instead, these three Chargers’ bold predictions will sound familiar, yet all are possible.
This has nothing to do with the Broncos being bad. In fact, they are going to be an outstanding team. The Chargers swept the Broncos in the 2024 season, beating them 23-16 in Denver and 34-27 at home. Curiously, Denver and Los Angeles have split the past 10 games. The Chargers jumped out to a 23-0 lead before holding on in the first win. Then, they rallied from a 24-13 deficit to stun the Broncos in the second win.
After playing the Kansas City Chiefs in Sao Paolo, Brazil, and the Las Vegas Raiders in Sin City, the Bolts will meet the Broncos in Week 3 at SoFi Stadium. Ultimately, both teams could be 2-0 heading into this game. There is a chance the game will be very close. Of course, both games went down to the very wire last season.
For whatever reason, this team under Harbaugh matches up well against the Broncos. Additionally, the Broncos could have a division title locked up by then, which might give them little incentive to play their starters in Week 18 against the Bolts. That is another reason why the Bolts will sweep the Broncos again.
The Chiefs have dominated the AFC West for eight consecutive seasons. Yet, the competition is better than ever before. The 2025 NFL season will see the Chiefs attempt to fend off the Broncos and the Chargers. Therefore, the biggest Chargers’ bold predictions have them finishing ahead of the Chiefs, technically.
The Chargers went 11-6 last season and will likely finish with the same exact record this season. Overall, they have a schedule that includes games against the AFC South. However, they also compete against the Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Commanders, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Miami Dolphins. The Bolts also have to play the Minnesota Vikings. Regardless, they will prosper over the Chiefs this season because they will win the tiebreaker against the Chiefs when the defending AFC West champions also finish...
