Nine and a half wins is a reasonable line for a team with Justin Herbert. After breaking down the schedule, nine wins is the ceiling.

The offensive line was atrocious last year. The Chargers attacked that problem in the offseason. Cole Strange and Jake Slaughter come in at center. Slater is back healthy. Joe Alt is a stud at tackle. If Slater and Alt stay healthy, this unit looks a lot better than last season.

David Njoku joins Gadskin to form two very solid pass-catching tight ends. Expect more two tight end sets. Omnarion Hampton steps into year two after a solid rookie year. Lad McKonkey remains one of the most consistent targets in the league. Quinton Johnson stretches the field.

On defense, Khalil Mack still has something left. Dalvin Tomlinson and Denzel Perryman add depth. Derwin James is a stud when healthy, and health is always the question with him.

The schedule lands at nine wins. Cardinals, Raiders, Texans, Jets, Patriots, Buccaneers, Raiders again, Dolphins, and a Chiefs split. Getting to 10 is where it gets iffy. The under at +115 is the value side.
