Predicting Chargers’ remaining schedule: How many wins in final 10 games?

Taking a crack at predicting how the Los Angeles Chargers will finish the 2022 regular season.

The Chargers, standing at 4-3, are heading into a 10-consecutive game stretch after their bye week.

With a slew of injuries to players at various positions, Los Angeles is hopeful that the week off was a time to regain full health for some of them and that the adjustments pay off.

As we head into the second half of the season, let’s take a crack at predicting the Bolts’ final 10 games.

AFC West standings update entering Week 3

A look at each AFC West team’s record heading into Week 3.

The Chargers saw their record fall to .500 after losing to the Chiefs last Thursday night.

But how about the others in the division?

Let’s take a look at the AFC West standings entering Week 3.

1. Chiefs (2-0)

Kansas City rallied late to beat Los Angeles, 27-24. While it wasn’t a spectacular performance from Patrick Mahomes, who finished with 235 yards and two touchdowns, the Chiefs’ turning point was when rookie cornerback Jaylen Watson picked off a Justin Herbert pass and returned it 99 yards for the score. The pick-six broke a 17-17 tie, and Kansas City never looked back.

Next up: @ Colts (0-2)

2. Chargers (1-1)

All the momentum was on Los Angeles’ side, as it was controlling the time of possession and minimized Mahomes for the most part. However, there were too many errors and missed opportunities – including four should-have-been interceptions. In addition, injuries to offensive linemen Corey Linsley and Trey Pipkins caused the offense to take a tumble late, leading to Herbert’s rib injury.

Next up: vs. Jaguars (1-1)

3. Broncos (1-1)

The Broncos beat the Texans, despite an ugly performance from Russell Wilson and a poor coaching performance from Nathaniel Hackett. Wilson completed just 45% of his passes and struggled to get Denver’s offense in sync. In the first half, the Broncos got inside Houston’s two-yard line on two different possessions and failed to get a touchdown both times. Another blunder occurred in the second quarter when they took a delay of game on a 54-yard field goal attempt. Instead of trying from 59 yards, Hackett decided to punt. Ultimately, Denver’s defense bailed them out, sacking Davis Mills three times while holding the Texans to just nine points.

Next up: vs. 49ers (1-1)

4. Raiders (0-2)

For the first time, the Raiders lost a game they led by 20 or more points when they blew a 20-0 halftime lead and fell to the Cardinals 29-23 in overtime. After gaining just 86 yards in the first half, Arizona gained 327 yards in the second half. Meanwhile, for Las Vegas, after gaining 258 yards through the first two quarters, it picked up just 66 yards in the second half. The game-sealer was when Isaiah Simmons forced the fumble on Hunter Renfrow, leading to Byron Murphy picking up the ball and taking it the other way for a 59-yard touchdown.

Next up: @ Titans (0-1)

NFL 2021 playoff picture, standings: Where Chargers stand after loss to Chiefs

With Week 15 nearing an end, a look at how the AFC West standings and the playoff picture currently shape up.

The Chargers fell to 8-6 after losing to the Chiefs on Thursday night.

Following the loss, how does it affect Los Angeles, and how does it stack up with the other teams in the AFC West and conference?

Here’s a look at the division standings with Week 15 nearing an end:

1. Chiefs (10-4)

2. Chargers (8-6)

3. Broncos (7-7)

4. Raiders (6-7)

And, a look at the playoff picture:

1. Chiefs (10-4)

2. Patriots (9-5)

3. Titans (9-5)

4. Bengals (8-6)

5. Colts (8-6)

6. Chargers (8-6)

7. Bills (8-6)

AFC playoff matchups if the season ended today:

  • No. 2 Patriots vs. No. 7 Bills
  • No. 3 Titans vs. No. 6 Chargers
  • No. 4 Bengals vs. No. 5 Colts

The Browns and Raiders face off on Monday evening.

If Cleveland wins, they will become the 4th seed, and Cincinnati would bump down to the 6th seed based on head-to-head win percentage.

That would also drop Los Angeles to the 7th seed and knock Buffalo out into the hunt because of the best win percentage in conference games.

What are Chargers’ chances to make playoffs, win division after loss to Chiefs?

Following their loss to the Chiefs, we take a look at the Chargers’ chances of still winning the division and making the playoffs.

In arguably the most attractive game of the week, the Chargers fell to the Chiefs in overtime on Thursday night by the score of 34-28.

Had Los Angeles taken care of business, they would have completed the sweep over Kansas City, sat in first place in the AFC West, and been able to control its destiny the remainder of the season.

Now, 8-6 on the season and currently still with the fifth seed, the Bolts are not in as comfortable of a position as they would have been if they won.

According to ESPN’s Football Power Index, the Chargers now have a 72.4% chance of making the playoffs and a 6% chance of still winning the division.

For Los Angeles to be crowned AFC West champs, they would have to win the three remaining games on the schedule and need Kansas City to lose two, including the Week 18 matchup against the Broncos.

At 11-6 apiece, the Bolts would win the tiebreaker over the Chiefs based on the best win percentage in conference games.

Given the fact that Los Angeles has the second-easiest remaining schedule, with games against the Texans, Broncos, and Raiders on the docket and Kansas City has the ninth-most difficult (Steelers, Bengals, and Broncos), it’s certainly possible.

Predicting Chargers’ remaining schedule: How many wins in final 6 games?

Standing at 6-5, we predict the Chargers’ final six games of the season to see if they can find themselves in the playoffs.

The Chargers are standing at 6-5 after falling to the Broncos this past weekend.

The team currently is in a three-way tie for second place in the AFC West and is barely holding on for the final playoff spot, with a handful of teams right behind them.

With only six games remaining on their schedule, every game for the Bolts is crucial and should be treated like a postseason contest if they want to play beyond the regular season.

With that being said, let’s take a crack at predicting how the Chargers’ schedule could shake up.
