This contest will mark the Chargers' first game since moving to L.A. from San Diego. Unfortunately for them I think they'll start the new era with a loss.

The Seattle Seahawks were a solid 3-1 in the preseason last year and head coach Pete Carroll is a solid 18-10 in the warmup games. The Chargers meanwhile were 1-3 last year and they have a new head coach in former Bills offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn.

Seattle has three competent running backs in Eddie Lacy, Thomas Rawls and C.J. Prosise who all will be looking to impress do lock down the starting spot for the season opener. Pete Carroll has a deep roster to work with, and the Seahawks' defense should do a good enough job shutting down the Chargers' weak second string offense to win this game.

My selection is an 8* play on Seattle Seahawks.
