Touchdown Wire predicts Chargers’ record in 2020

Will the Los Angeles Chargers turn things around after a disappointing 2019 season?

The 2020 NFL schedule is slated to be released on Thursday. We know who the Chargers will play this upcoming, but we have yet to find out when and where.

Even though we don’t know the exact dates and times to all 16 of their games, we at least know their opponents to start making predictions on how we believe the year will shape up.

After finishing with a disappointing 5-11 record in 2019, Touchdown Wire’s Barry Werner believes that Los Angeles will only improve their win column by two more games in 2020, finishing with a 7-9 record.

Anthony Lynn will have to decide when to test Justin Herbert as a starter when the Bolts fail to light it up in the first part of the season. Forgive Tyrod Taylor if he has seen this script before.”

Oddsmakers have the over/under for the Chargers’ win total set to 7.5.

I believe Los Angeles is capable of finishing 9-7 or 10-6 this season. I will break down each game soon, explaining the process on each of my projections.

Quarterbacks Tyrod Taylor or Justin Herbert might not necessarily perform at a Pro Bowl level. But no matter how the quarterback play plays out, the schematic changes on both sides of the ball and talent on the roster should be able elevate their success rate.

The biggest determining factor to their success will be the health of the team. The Chargers have shown that they can compete with any team in the league, but when the injuries to their key players start to stack up – just like last year – it will hinder them immensely.
