The San Diego Chargers‘ 2015 schedule was released on Tuesday night, solidifying the dates for opponents we’ve known about for months. While there weren’t really any surprises, it does solidify the fact that the Chargers are going to have a tough year on the road.
Week 1: Lions @ Chargers – Sunday, September 13, 4:05pm ET
Week 2: Chargers @ Bengals – Sunday, September 20, 1pm ET
Week 3: Chargers @ Vikings – Sunday, September 27, 1pm ET
Week 4: Browns @ Chargers – Sunday, October 4, 4:05pm ET
Week 5: Steelers @ Chargers – Monday, October 12, 8:30pm ET
Week 6: Chargers @ Packers – Sunday, October 18, 4:25pm ET
Week 7: Raiders @ Chargers – Sunday, October 25, 4:05pm ET
Week 8: Chargers @ Ravens – Sunday, November 1, 1pm ET

Week 10: BYE
Week 11: Chiefs @ Chargers – Sunday, November 22, 8:30pm ET
Week 12: Chargers @ Jaguars – Sunday, November 29, 1pm ET
Week 13: Broncos @ Chargers – Sunday, December 6, 4:05pm ET
Week 14: Chargers @ Chiefs – Sunday, December 13, 1pm ET
Week 15: Dolphins @ Chargers – Sunday, December 20, 4:25pm ET
Week 16: Chargers @ Raiders – Thursday, December 24, 8:25pm ET
Week 17: Chargers @ Broncos – Sunday, January 3, 4:25pm ET
So there you have it. Apart from the Jaguars, the Chargers’ road games consistent of the tough AFC West, three 2015 playoff teams and a Vikings team on the rise. Not what a team that struggles to win consistently wants to see, especially when it comes to playing on the road. Then again, the home games aren’t great either.
Considering the recent rumors surrounding Philip Rivers and the Chargers’ lack of overall progress this offseason, my expectations aren’t high. I’m thinking maybe 8-8, and that’s being generous. How do you think San Diego will fare in 2015?
