Chargers at Steelers picks and predictions
Prediction
Chargers 20 Steelers 13
Moneyline
Both teams have been great defensively to start the season but the Steelers are missing a pair of starting offensive linemen.
Pittsburgh’s offense with QB Justin Fields has been pedestrian. And the defense has not faced a rushing attack like the Chargers’, as they have averaged 197.5 rushing yards per game through 2 weeks.
BET CHARGERS (+120).
Against the spread
Both teams are 2-0 ATS.
The Chargers have the better offense and the better defense so far. The problem is Herbert is questionable with a high-ankle sprain.
You could bet the Chargers to cover, but since I think they will win outright, bet the plus odds on the moneyline and PASS on the spread.
Over/Under
The Under has hit in both Games for both teams this season. The Steelers have scored 31 combined points in 2 Games.
The Chargers have been in the 20s in each game.
BET UNDER 34.5 (-110).
