Ricardo Sandoval: The Chargers don't appear to be the same old Chargers as before. The Chargers have a real defense led by Jim Harbaugh and defensive coordinator Jesse Minter. They are a tough and physical team like any Harbaugh team is. The Cardinals also want to establish their dominance and physical presence this season. However, they will be outmatched in this primetime matchup.
Prediction: Chargers 20, Cardinals 17
Eva Geitheim: The Chargers began rolling last week and their defense has been lights out to start the year. The Cardinals show flashes of great play each game, but not enough to win most games. The Chargers offense should also have an advantage against the Cardinals' defense.
Prediction: Chargers 27, Cardinals 17
Noah Camras: The Chargers have looked good in Jim Harbaugh's first season in charge. The Cardinals have shown signs of dominance, but have also been inconsistent. This week, though, it will be a strong Kyler Murray performance, as the Cardinals take down the 4-2 Chargers en route to a big win to stay afloat in the struggling NFC West.
Prediction: Cardinals 23, Chargers 17
Alex Kirschenbaum: Despite a rocky start playing Jim Harbaugh's preferred run-heavy offense, look for Justin Herbert and co. to best a struggling Arizona club on the road.
Prediction: Chargers 20, Cardinals 14
James Brizuela: The Chargers are chasing their fourth win of the season, and they are facing a 2-4 Cardinals team that is not entirely indicative of their current record. Though everyone expects the Cardinals to be a pushover, they are not. However, Justin Herbert is starting to put things together. The Cardinals also have a poor secondary, so Los Angeles can take advantage of some big plays. Jim Harbaugh will lead his team to another win.
Prediction: Chargers 28, Cardinals 17
Valentina Martinez: Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter has transformed the unit this season. The Los Angeles defense will do what some NFL teams have failed to do this season and stop Kyler Murray.
Prediction: Chargers 24, Cardinals 17
