Chargers open as favorites over Football Team in season opener

The entire schedule for the 2021 regular season will be unveiled later today, but we do know who the Chargers will open up against.

Los Angeles is set to travel to face Washington Football Team, and oddsmakers believe that the road team will come out on top.

L.A. opens up as two-point favorites, per BetMGM.

After finishing with a 7-9 record and NFC East champions, Football Team enters this season with the same dynamic defense from last year, with a few new pieces. In addition, their offense will be led by new quarterback, Ryan Fitzpatrick.

The Bolts, on the other hand, also finished 7-9 in 2020. They will have new head coach Brandon Staley and his staff in charge of a team that features 2020 Offensive Rookie of the Year, Justin Herbert and a roster with some new players and familiar faces.
