How NFL travel miles are calculated

Neutral-site and international games are measured from home. MockSlate measures each trip from SoFi Stadium as the crow flies, rounded to ten miles. All 32 teams ranked →

Los Angeles Chargers rest advantage 2026 by week

Since 2002, home teams win 56% of games with even rest. With a rest edge of three days or more that rises to 58%. On the short side of three days or more it drops to 53%.

A positive number means the Chargers have more rest than their opponent; a negative number means the opponent has more rest. Week 1 has no comparison because neither team has played yet. Thursday games are often even because both teams are coming off the same short week.

The Chargers have a net rest disadvantage of 24 days across the 2026 schedule, ranking 32nd in the league.
