Three key matchups to watch in Washington’s opener vs the Chargers

This Sunday, the defending NFC East Champion Washington Football Team kicks off their 2021 campaign with a home game against the Los Angeles Chargers. For weeks, the Chargers were a one-point favorite leading up to the season. However, now that Week 1 is here, things have changed, and the Washington Football Team has shifted to the favorites by a half-point. The bottom line in the betting line is that this game appears to be a toss-up in the eyes of oddsmakers, rightfully so.

The Chargers boast a powerful passing game, who, even with a poor offensive line, still produced a top-five passing attack in the NFL last season.
