Pre-game Buzz
Those who caught HBO's 'Hard Knocks: Los Angeles' would have a fair idea of how the Chargers prepared for the tournament. With Philip Rivers joining the Indianapolis Colts in the offseason, all eyes are on Tyrod Taylor. The Chargers will come out all guns blazing and they have the exciting talent to watch for this year. One of them is QB Justin Herbert who managed to impress the coaching staff. Melvin Ingram and Joey Bosa will be the ones to watch out for.
As far as the Bengals go, all eyes will be on the number one draft pick, Joe Burrow as he tries to steer Cincinnati back to their glory days. However, they are against a team that's beefed up on defense and only time will tell how they fare.
Who will win?
The Chargers are hot favorites to start off their season with a win. They managed to get some fans with the docuseries premiering ahead of the season. Add to that, they failed to make the playoffs last time and that means they will steamroll the Bengals to get there.
