The time for the Los Angeles Chargers to strike is now.
The Philip Rivers-led squad features one of the league's deepest and most talented rosters. Furthermore, an ascension couldn't come at a better time since the rest of the AFC West is expected to take a step back and the entire conference lacks quality teams. As a result, the Chargers are the odds-on favorite to claim a division title for the first time since 2009, per OddsShark.
Sunday's home meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs at the StubHub Center can serve as a pseudo passing of the torch.
