The Chargers improved to 3-2 after defeating the Broncos last Sunday.
According to Playoff Status, the NFL post-season probabilities after Week 6 show that Los Angeles has a 66% chance of making the playoffs.
This factors in win/loss with a probability based upon relative strengths.
It’s still early in the season, but the Chargers have an opportunity to be in great shape after the next five games. The Cardinals, Saints, Browns, Titans, and Bengals—all teams below .500—are on tap.
Aside from having a relatively easy schedule coming up, the Bolts’ defense has continued to show it can make life difficult for any opposing offense. Meanwhile, the offense seems to be starting to click.
I predicted L.A. would make the playoffs at the beginning of the season, and the numbers are in favor of it, too.
