NFL Schedule 2017: Chargers find out their opponents for next season

Los Angeles @ New York (10/8)
With the first few games under their belt, the Chargers will now square off against the Giants in the Meadowlands. One of the main reasons the Chargers relocated was to reach a bigger market in Los Angeles. Now they’ll get to prove who’s the best team on the bigger market against New York. Guarding Brandon Marshall and Odell Becham Jr. will be their focus and x-factor.
Los Angeles @ Oakland (10/15)
One of the final games for the Chargers in Oakland is going to be a good one. Already playing division rivals Kansas City and Denver, this road game against Oakland will tell us how the Chargers will fare in their own division. Of all the road games, playing the Raiders will be one of the hardest. Oakland was a top team in the AFC heading into the final stretch before Derek Carr was injured. Now they’ll have to deal with him again.
Denver @ Los Angeles (10/22)
For the second time in seven games, the Chargers and Broncos take the field against each other. Hosting Denver in Los Angeles gives the Chargers an edge, but it all depends on how their first match up in the mile high city goes.
Los Angeles @ New England (10/29)
The great thing about this game is that the Chargers will have a chance to throw their shot at the defending Super Bowl champs. New England won over Atlanta in February thanks to a ridiculous, record setting comeback. Now that teams across the league saw that happen, they’ll all want their piece at Tom Brady and company. Problem with that is that they’ll have to try and win it in Foxborough.
