Los Angeles Chargers 2020 Schedule and Win Total Breakdown

In addition to the Chargers opponents in the AFC West, Los Angeles will also play against teams from the AFC East and NFC South

The Los Angeles Chargers are one of the most talented teams in the AFC, yet sit with a win total below .500 at 7.5 at William Hill Sportsbook. The low total reflects the extremely tough division they play in (AFC West) and some uncertainty at the quarterback position.

Tyrod Taylor is expected to be the Week 1 starter for Los Angeles with rookie Justin Herbert likely taking over at some point in the 2020 season. If either give the Chargers even average quarterback play, they’ll be in great shape to return to the playoffs. 

The Chargers will open their season on the road against the Bengals and No. 1 overall pick Joe Burrow, but they’ll have their home opener in the shiny new SoFi Stadium against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2. According to William Hill, the Chargers have the second-easiest home schedule in 2020 and the 5th easiest overall schedule.

Chargers Projected Win Total and Odds: 7.5 wins OVER -110/UNDER -110
