The good news is that the Chargers invested heavily in protecting Rivers this offseason, using two of their three top picks on versatile, potential plug-and-play offensive linemen in Forrest Lamp and Dan Feeney. Philip Rivers hasn’t had one season of above average pass protection in the last decade, according to Gregg Rosenthal June 26, 2017
Why they will make the playoffs: Better luck has to come Philip Rivers' way at some point, right? He has annually dealt with major attrition to his receiving corps and skill-position players and is one of the least-protected franchise quarterbacks over the last decade.

There is only one division where assumption is not the mother of all eff ups. (I also went 2-2 on teams who would miss the postseason.) Last year I correctly predicted two of the teams (the Cowboys and Raiders) who would take a jump into the postseason. Over the past three years the NFL has seen an average of five teams jump up and make the postseason and, obviously, five teams drop out of the playoffs. The parity of the league encourages teams to remain hopeful, offering fans the opportunity to make the playoffs if a front office can make the right moves in the offseason. Each year the NFL features a pretty heavy amount of turnover when it comes to teams who make the playoffs.
