Looking at Chargers’ strength of schedule in 2020

The wait is finally close from being over.

The Chargers, along with the 31 other teams in the league, will know when and where they’re playing in the 2020 season on Thursday at 5 p.m. PT.

We know who the Bolts will be playing, but how will they fare against their opponents?

Based on the 2019 win percentages of 2020 opponents, Los Angeles has the 23rd-hardest schedule this season. Their upcoming opponents posted a combined 126-130 (.492) record last season.

The Chiefs (.500), Raiders (.496) and Broncos (.512) all have tougher schedules than the Chargers.

However, offseason acquisitions made by Los Angeles and their opponents will certainly have an impact on this.

1. New England Patriots: 137-118-1 (.537)
