The Vegas odds for the first 16 weeks of the NFL season are out, and it's time to take a look at how Vegas thinks the Los Angeles Chargers will fare in the 2017 season. The Chargers missed the playoffs last year, which resulted in a head coach change. The hope is that some roster upgrades and a new voice at the top of the coaching staff in Anthony Lynn will be enough to change the outcome in 2017.
The odds for Week 17 are not out yet, because of the tendency for team to bench players, so that week isn't counted. With that in mind, here is the point spread for each Chargers' game in 2017.
Week 1: at Denver Broncos
Broncos favored by 4
Week 2: vs. Miami Dolphins
Chargers favored by 1
Week 3: vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Chiefs favored by 1.5
Week 4: vs. Philadelphia Eagles
Chargers favored by 1.5
Week 5: at New York Giants
Giants favored by 7
Week 6: at Oakland Raiders
Raiders favored by 8
Week 7: vs Denver Broncos
No spread - Pick 'Em
Week 8: at New England Patriots
Patriots favored by 12.5
Week 9: BYE
Week 10: at Jacksonville Jaguars
Jaguars favored by 3
Week 11: vs. Buffalo Bills
Chargers favored by 2
Week 12: at Dallas Cowboys
Cowboys favored by 10
Week 13: vs. Cleveland Browns
Chargers favored by 7
Week 14: vs. Washington Redskins
Chargers favored by 1.5
Week 15: at Kansas City Chiefs

Week 17: vs. Oakland Raiders
N/A
Vegas isn't feeling confident about the Chargers this year. They're favored in just five games, although there are the two pick 'em games and the Week 17 matchup with no spread. Still, Vegas clearly doesn't view Los Angeles as a playoff team. Then again, perhaps Vegas is underselling the talent on the Chargers. If the team can stay healthy, they might just be able to surprise in the strong in AFC West.
