The NFL will announce the regular season schedule for 2020 on Thursday at 5 p.m. PT. We already know who the Chargers’ opponents will be, but just don’t know the dates and times.
From that list of opponents, we can predict which games might get national attention on prime time television. Los Angeles played in three nationally televised games in 2019.
L.A. didn’t have a lot of success last season, finishing 5-11. However, given the talent on the roster, the fact that a new era at the quarterback begins, and they’re moving into a new stadium, they should be sure to earn the spotlight.
With that, here are five games that could be prime time this upcoming season:
Chargers at Saints
The next time that the Chargers will play the Saints will be in 2024, which is likely the same year that New Orleans will have a new quarterback because Drew Brees is nearing the final leg of his professional career.
This would be the perfect opportunity to nationally televise Brees play against the team that originally drafted him back in 2001 one last time. Since Brees took over under center for the Saints in 2006, the Bolts have suffered defeat all three of their meetings.
