LEet’s talk about some football!
Welcome to Week Two, everyone. Let’s have some fun.
Bolt up, baby!
The Chargers have a chance to star their season 2-0 for the first time since 2012.
The Chargers (1-0) are in Charlotte, North Carolina this week to take on the Panthers (0-1) for their first road trip of the 2024 season. The Bolts are at Pittsburgh next week so this is actually the beginning of a 10-day trip to the east coast in which they'll practice next week at the facilities of UNC-Charlotte.
The Panthers are coming off an embarrassing loss to the Saints in Week One where they stumbled to a 47-10 decision behind a rough outing for second-year...
The Chargers will be without starting free safety Alohi Gilman against the Panthers.
For the second consecutive week, the Chargers will have the majority of their 2024 rookie class inactive on game day. Of the seven inactive players for the Bolts, four of them are rookies. They are running back Kimani Vidal, cornerback Tarheeb Still, defensive tackle Justin Eboigbe, and wide receiver Brenden Rice.
The other three inactive players are safety Alohi Gilman, who missed all week with a knee injury, offensive guard Jordan McFadden, and quarterback Taylor Heinicke. It should be noted, however, that Heinicke is the team’s emergency...

The Eagles set for primetime matchup at home with the Falcons and Kirk Cousins.
We went 12-4 in Week One. The Browns and Panthers did me no justice. Here’s to hoping for a cleaner Sunday this time around.
Lets pick some games, shall we?

Chargers (-4.5) vs. Panthers
Pick: Chargers
The Panthers may be the worst team in the NFL. Both offensively and defensively. The Chargers offense may not be full of fireworks right now, but their defense looked for real in Week Two. I foresee another rough outing...
Here’s all the information you need to tune into Sunday’s matchup against the Panthers.
The Chargers are 1-0 after a Week One win over the Raiders. They’re on the road this week in North Carolina to face the Panthers (0-1) in Charlotte. Carolina was a victim of their own play as two Bryce Young interception helped sink them early in a 47-10 whooping by the Saints.
No game in the NFL should ever be seen as an automatic win. The phrase “any given Sunday” exists for a reason. Could the Panthers find a way to beat the Chargers today? Absolutely....

Dobbins could be in for an all time performance against a team missing it’s biggest star.
It was a pleasant week one debut for J.K. Dobbins and the Chargers as the former Ohio State product finally was healthy for a big breakout on the ground against the Las Vegas Raiders.
It’s good to see such an explosive debut from Dobbins who to this point in his career has been riddled with injuries and has not had a proper chance to be a teams number one back. While Dobbins did split time with Gus Edwards, it was clear that Dobbins was...
After practicing in a limited fashion on Wednesday, Joey Bosa was absent on Thursday before working off on a side field with trainers on Friday.
The Chargers injury report this week was much longer than Week One’s through the entire week of preparation for the the Panthers. The final injury report of the week has dropped and five total players grace it.
In all, four players are listed as questionable. Edge rusher Joey Bosa, running back Hassan Haskins, wide receiver Joshua Palmer, and cornerback Ja’Sir Taylor are all expected to play with Joey Bosa likely being the closest to a...
Confidence in the Chargers was high prior to Week One’s victory and now it’s even higher thanks to a dominant defensive performance.
The hiring of Jim Harbaugh and the eventful offseason for the Chargers leading up to the regular season opener has had the fan base living large. Expectations — no matter how reserved — have still been fairly high and the vibes around the team have been exquisite. Rootin’ tootin’, even.
When we did last week’s SB Nation’s Reacts poll, we had 92 percent of participants say they were confident in the direction of the Chargers. Now after the...
Justin Herbert and the Chargers passing attack could be in line for a bounce-back game, but a Panthers defense that just gave up 180 rushing yards to the Saints may mean another big day for J.K. Dobbins.
The Chargers (1-0) are on the road this week to face the 0-1 Panthers. Carolina is coming off a 47-10 shellacking by the Saints and expectations are that this week’s matchup could also be a lopsided one.
Second-year quarterback Bryce Young was expected to make a leap in year two, but two early interceptions against New Orleans sank his team before they could...
A weak Panthers squad opens up big time offensive possibilities heading into week 2
Happy week one W of the season and welcome to week 2! The new look Los Angeles Chargers look to open up the season 2-0 against a Carolina Panthers team that looks like it is not ready to compete with serious NFL teams leading to some pretty juicy player props. Let’s take a look at which player props we might want a piece of over on.
Here are my favorite three bets of the week, courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook.
Justin Herbert, Passing Yards Over 209.5
