Week 1 is less than three weeks away for the Chargers — and the predictions are starting to roll in from pundits around the league.
Sports Illustrated's Conor Orr recently completed his annual exercise going through each team's schedule to project all 272 regular season games and their final record.
The NFL analyst had the Chargers finishing with a 10-7 record and making the playoffs as a Wild Card team.
While Orr said he could see a scenario where the Chargers end up being better than that, he has confidence in the team's improvement in 2025.
Orr wrote:
I have the Chargers finishing in third place but still making the playoffs. I toyed with a version of this prediction matrix that had L.A. winning the division, which doesn't sound so far-fetched when you remember that Jim Harbaugh took a really bad team to the playoffs in 2024. The roster continues to churn and get better. This offense is going to be more stable, even without the help of Rashawn Slater, who is a devastating loss but is backed by Joe Alt moving to left tackle and the experienced Trey Pipkins III slotting over on the right side.

Among the trends on Orr's schedule, he has the Bolts starting 4-4 through the first eight games before ripping off a four-game winning streak in the middle of the season.
Then in the final month of the season he projected wins in Dallas and against Houston to push them to a playoff spot at the end of the year.
Orr wrote:
Outside of getting swept by the Broncos which, again, I don't see happening the more I think about it, I feel like this is a pretty agreeable breakdown with L.A. winning the games it is supposed to win and falling only to the teams that have an overwhelming advantage defensively (and, yes, once against the Raiders, just because).
