The Los Angeles Chargers face a must-win scenario in Week 16 against the New York Jets. Here are three bold predictions for this AFC showdown.

The Los Angeles Chargers possibly have one of their biggest tests of the season this weekend against the New York Jets. Yes, the Jets present a somewhat unique challenge for the Bolts, but it’ll be interesting to see how this team responds after getting blown-out by the Chiefs last weekend, pretty much ending their hopes at the AFC West crown.

At the same time, I would be doing this Chargers football team a dishonor by not giving them credit for their mental-toughness and ability to handle diversity. Remember, this 7-7 squad started the 2017 season 0-4. If they weren’t able to tread some tough waters, they wouldn’t still be in a position to make the AFC Playoffs.

However, each weekend in the NFL present new challenges for each and every franchise. For this Los Angeles team specifically, it means they’ll be playing without some of their key players. Not to mention, they’ll be doing that on the east coast and with their season on-the-line. Needless to say, games like these are not for the faint of heart.

Take a look a three bold predictions for the Bolts in their AFC battle against the Jets in Week 16.
