Following an outstanding 2018 season that resulted in a 12-4 record and a trip to the playoffs, the Chargers failed to replicate that in 2019, finishing with a 5-11 record and last place in the AFC West.
As Los Angeles moves into a brand new stadium this upcoming season, they hope to bounce back and start the new decade on a good note.
There are many that believe the Bolts will have a turnaround year in 2020, but what do the oddsmakers think?
BetMGM released their over/under for 2020 season wins for all 32 teams, and for the Chargers, it’s set at 7.5 wins.
7.5 seems fair because while Los Angeles does have a stacked roster on both sides of the ball, the quality of the quarterback play remains a mystery. After having Philip Rivers under center the past 14 seasons, Tyrod Taylor and rookie Justin Herbert take over.
I am taking the over, predicting the Bolts to finish with a 9-7 or 10-6 record. Taylor or Herbert may not necessarily perform at the level of Rivers’ better campaigns. However, no matter how the quarterback play plays out, the talent on the roster should be able elevate their success rate.
