With the schedule coming out next week, which game are you looking forward to the most? (Tom via email)
In case you missed it, the Chargers 2025 schedule will be released on May 14.
I took a stab at predicting all 17 games on the docket with the hope being to get more correct (two) than I had last year.
But which one stands out the most?
Obviously, the Chargers Week 1 game in Brazil will be intriguing but the opponent for that Sept. 5 game hasn’t been announced yet. We do know that it won’t be Philadelphia, who will open the season at home on Sept. 4 as the defending champs.
And speaking of the Eagles, that’s my pick here, and not just because they’re the league’s most-recent champion.
Ever since Jim Harbaugh and Joe Hortiz arrived, they have talked about building a team that wins football games by dominating in the trenches and with a smashmouth style on offense.
You know which team does that better than anyone right now? The Eagles.
Philadelphia’s identity features a menacing offensive line and powerful defensive line. Oh yeah, they also have that Saquon Barkley guy, too.
How does the Chargers offensive line fare against Jalen Carter and Co.? How does the Bolts defense try and slow down Barkley? Who wins the battle between top-tier quarterbacks in Justin Herbert and Jalen Hurts?
The storylines here will be aplenty, even if we don’t yet know when this game will take place.
Simply put, the home game against the Eagles will be an excellent measuring stick for who the Bolts want to be.
