Los Angeles Chargers: 3 Bold predictions vs Dolphins in Week 2
By Derek Snyder
1. Chargers lose by a field-goal for the second-straight week
The tough thing about the 2017 Chargers is that they are so darn close to playing great football. Los Angeles almost made an incredible comeback against the Broncos on Monday night, but it was their early-game woes that ended up costing them a victory in the end. That being said, I believe Miami will find a way to beat the Chargers in a close one on Sunday and drop Los Angeles to 0-2 on the year.
The Dolphins and Chargers have met up five times in the last six years, with Miami and Los Angeles splitting at 3-3. However, it’s been the Phins that have won three out of the last four. There’s a reason why Miami has been dominating the Chargers over the last four years and it will come into play on Sunday.
The Dolphins are another team that Los Angeles will face who has a very physical and agressive defensive-line. Seeing the way the Chargers handled Denver last Monday, it shouldn’t give any Bolts fan confidence in their ability against Miami either.

No, the Dolphins don’t have a guy like Von Miller, but any kind of interior pressure on Sunday afternoon will trouble the Chargers and Philip Rivers. That being said, I believe this will be a close game until the game. It’ll just be Miami coming out with their first victory of 2017.
