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.
