Chargers Rank in Top Half of Strength of Schedule For 2023 Season

It won't be easy for the Bolts this season

The NFL schedule will release on Thursday, and we cannot wait to see when we play who. We know the opponents the Bolts will face; it's only a matter of when. With the schedule release date upon us, NFL Network analysts Andrew Siciliano provided us with the 2023 strength of schedule (SOS) for each team supplied by NFL Research. 

The Los Angeles Chargers' strength of schedule is at the top half of the list, tied for number 12. 

Per ⁦@NFLResearch⁩:

Eagles have the “most difficult” 2023 strength-of-schedule.

Falcons have the “easiest”.

The SOS is based on their opponents' combined record from the 2022 season. Los Angeles will have home games and eight away games in 2023. As always, they'll play their AFC West counterparts, one time at home and one time away, and will be hosting the Miami Dolphins again while traveling to the northeast to face AFC East teams New England Patriots and New York Jets. 

Six of their 17 opponents made the postseason in 2022. Their opponent's win-loss record is 149-139, with a win percentage of .517. Hardest schedule or easiest, the Bolts will need to put in the work and win football games to reach new heights this season. 

It's going to be a fun season, and hopefully, it's filled with a ton of wins.
