Where Chargers rank in 2022 strength of schedule

Find out how difficult the Los Angeles Chargers’ schedule will be in 2022.

The Chargers have brought in a few key players, highlighted by Khalil Mack and J.C. Jackson, to help make a strong push during the 2022 season.

The firepower will be much-needed for Los Angeles, as they’re set to have the 11th-hardest schedule in the NFL, according to Sharp Football Analysis, which uses Vegas’ projected win totals to create strength of schedule.

Not only will the Bolts have to face their rivals of the AFC West, which is arguably the most stacked division in football, on two occasions, they will also play other notable teams, like the reigning Super Bowl champs, Rams.

At the moment, the Chargers can make a run with what they have, especially with Justin Herbert at the helms. However, the draft will be a great outlet to solidify their roster, with ten picks at their disposal.

Here’s how the rest of the AFC West stacks up:

  • Broncos (15th-hardest)
  • Raiders (5th-hardest)
  • Chiefs (Hardest schedule in the NFL)

Chargers have one of easiest schedules remaining in NFL

The Los Angeles Chargers will have a favorable schedule after the bye week.

The Chargers’ 2020 season hasn’t gotten off to a great start, as they’re sitting with a 1-4 record.

Los Angeles has went down to the wire with every team they’ve played, including some of the best like the Chiefs and Buccaneers, but have struggled to close out games.

All of their losses have been within a score. This has been an ongoing issue dating back to last season, as the Bolts are 3-13 in one-score games since the start of 2019.

While L.A. looks to make a turnaround to their season, they have a favorable schedule to get back on track.

According to CBS Sports’ John Breech, the Chargers have the fourth-easiest schedule remaining in the league. Opponents have a .404 combined winning percentage.

The only opponents with a winning record that Los Angeles has yet to play are the Chiefs, Bills, Raiders (twice) and Patriots.

Along with having a pretty easy schedule, L.A. will benefit from getting key players back from their perspective injuries following the bye.

These things will help, but ultimately, the team will have to make changes to their play-calling, fix in-game woes like costly penalties and turnovers if they want to get back to the win column.
