Chargers Expert Predicts a Perfect Start For The Bolts
The 2023 NFL season is inching closer and closer. The season kicks off in early September, and your Los Angeles Chargers will look for an incredible 2023 campaign. The Bolts will begin this season against the Miami Dolphins in Week 1 and will have an early bye week in Week 5 of the season.
Not ideal for the Bolts, but it is what it is. Before their Week 5 bye, they'll have two road games and two home games. Charger fans are optimistic about their team, and you could count on insider Lindsey Thiry to have that same optimism. Thiry wrote that she believes the Chargers will start off perfect before the team hits their bye week.
The Chargers will enter their bye 4-0, with their [Kellen] Moore-directed offense stealing the attention of the NFL, and proving that this is the season to play to expectations.
Last season, LA started off 2-2 through four games and finished the rest of the season 8-5. It won't be easy for the Bolts to have a perfect season through four games, but it isn't impossible. The Bolts start with a Dolphins team who has improved, but LA should have the upper hand at home and be the slightly better team. They then have back-to-back road games against the Tennessee Titans and Minnesota Vikings. The Titans aren't the same team as years past, and I expect the Vikings to have a regression from 2022. LA ends things with their division rivals Las Vegas Raiders, at home, and although division games are a coin flip, the Chargers are the better team compared to Vegas.
The Chargers are going into this season with high expectations, expectations they haven't had in a long time. Justin Herbert is the head of the snake, and he must perform like the star QB we all know he can be. The Chargers will go as far as Herbert takes them.
Injuries and such can play a factor, but hopefully, that isn't the case with LA. 4-0 is doable to start the season; we'll see how the Bolts come out of the gates.
