Reason for optimism

Playing up to their opponent

The Chargers are a frustrating team because they are notorious for winning games that they’re projected to lose and will let contests slip away in which they’re expected to win.

Just a couple weeks ago, they took care of business against one of the NFC’s best in the Green Bay Packers, knocking them off with ease. This is no different as they’re about to go toe to toe with a division rival, who’s predicted to win.

With a lot to stake in terms of the playoffs, it wouldn’t be all that surprising to see Los Angeles look like a more superior team than they’re 4-6 record indicates and come away with a victory, keeping their postseason hopes alive.
