Why are so many national writers so high on the Chargers?

No national writer is ever going out of the way to talk off season about the Chiefs because at the end of the day, you are talking about the sum total of the 30th largest metro out there and its team. Throwing talk out there at this furthest point from the season means realistically nothing except possibly ginning up audience interest, and that in second largest market or thereabouts --and that, split with the Rams. Just sell readership, baby.
