The regular season is on the horizon for the Chargers.
The Bolts will travel to São Paulo as they will open the 2025 season Friday against the Chiefs.
NFL analysts and publications have released their weekly power rankings. Take a look at where the Bolts are ranked as they enter Week 1.
No. 7: Conor Orr – Sports Illustrated
I'm probably too high on the Chargers after Rashawn Slater's injury. That said, I think the strength of offensive coordinator Greg Roman is finding different ways to maximize the run game and build the strength of a play around someone who is not a stalwart tackle. The Chargers' offensive line is going to move, making it tough to get a bead on, and Omarion Hampton will roll, which will bring the rest of this offense along for the ride.
No. 10: Gary Davenport – Bleacher Report
The Los Angeles Chargers invested in their offense, signing guard Mekhi Becton, tight end Tyler Conklin and wide receiver Keenan Allen. They also selected running back Omarion Hampton and Tre' Harris in the first two rounds of the draft.
With those moves, the offense looked primed to rank top-10 in scoring and total yards, which would complement the league's No. 1 scoring defense from last season...
The Chargers may be less of a bully than they planned to be this year, which hurts their chances of knocking the Kansas City Chiefs off the AFC West pedestal.
No. 10: Vinnie Iyer – Sporting News
The Chargers should have increased confidence after Jim Harbaugh's smashing debut and making some necessary offensive reinforcements and defensive changes. They will give the Chiefs even less breathing room.

No. 12: Robert Zeglinski and Christian D'Andrea – For the Win
No. 12: Josh Kendall – The Athletic
No. 13: Dan Wilkins – theScore
Rashawn Slater going down with a season-ending knee injury really hurts the outlook for the Chargers' offense. They'll be fine at left tackle, with Joe Alt sliding over.
No. 14: Eric Edholm – NFL.com
The O-line remains a worry, and the Bolts are breaking in some different receivers and backs, so the offense could take some time to jell. Also, the Chargers' defense took a few personnel hits this offseason and must show that last season was not an aberration. Jim Harbaugh has a good staff, a star QB and playmakers on both sides of the ball, but that doesn't mean it won't be tough sledding this season. The division is arguably tougher, and I am not sure the Chargers are a better team than they were a year ago. Maybe not worse, either, but there's a cap to my optimism.
No. 14: Mike Clay – ESPN
Losing elite left tackle Rashawn Slater for the season is brutal... Still, the Justin Herbert-led offense looks good, and Jim Harbaugh's record speaks for itself (55-25-1 in five seasons as an NFL head coach).
No. 14: Diante Lee – The Ringer
We're entering the range of teams that are most difficult to place ahead of Week 1. The Chargers fulfill the two necessary conditions to make the playoffs for the second consecutive season—a good head coach and quarterback—but there are questions elsewhere.
No. 15: Mike Florio – Pro Football Talk
Is Omarion Hampton ready to carry the load?
No. 16: Pete Prisco – CBS Sports
The loss of left tackle Rashawn Slater to a season-ending knee injury will hurt, but they will again play a Jim Harbaugh-style of football, which means tough and nasty. Is this the year Justin Herbert wins a playoff game?
No. 18: Nate Davis – USA Today
You don't want to undersell a team coached by Jim Harbaugh.
