Writer’s Breakdown and Pick for the Chargers vs Steelers Game
Harbaugh has started with wins
It’s been a strong start for new Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh, who joined the team after leading Michigan to a National Championship.
In his debut as an NFL head coach, Harbaugh has guided the Chargers to two victories.
The defense has been a standout, allowing only 6.5 points per game so far.
On offense, quarterback Justin Herbert is working with a new group of playmakers.
Austin Ekeler and Keenan Allen are no longer with the team, replaced by running backs J.K.
Dobbins and Gus Edwards, who have combined for over 340 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns on 56 carries.
Wide receivers Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey are leading the air attack, with Johnston scoring two touchdowns in Week 2.
Looking ahead, the Chargers will host the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 4.
After a bye week, they’ll face road games against the Denver Broncos and Arizona Cardinals, making four of their first five games this NFL season away from home.
Tomlin Also Winning
On the Steelers’ side, head coach Mike Tomlin’s squad is playing their first home game of 2024.
Their defense has been exceptional, allowing just 8 points per game, slightly better than the Chargers.
Justin Fields has started the first two games at quarterback for Pittsburgh, completing 30 of 43 passes for 273 yards and 1 touchdown.
Notably, he hasn’t thrown an interception and has only been sacked four times.
Wide receivers George Pickens and Pat Freiermuth have each caught 8 passes, though neither has reached the end zone.
The team’s only offensive touchdown came from tight end Darnell Washington.
In Week 4, Pittsburgh will travel to face the Indianapolis Colts, followed by a home game against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 5, and a Week 6 trip to Las Vegas to take on the Raiders.
Steelers Move to 3-0
The Steelers are playing solid football on both sides of the ball, with their defense standing out as the key factor in their success.
While the Chargers have also performed well, Pittsburgh’s defense is likely to be the difference-maker in this matchup.
We’re predicting the Steelers to move to 3-0, with Justin Fields leading the way.
For those betting on the game, the pick is to take the Steelers at -1.5 over the Chargers.

How does it Work?
How Do Live NFL Betting Spreads Work? Let’s Find Out
Live NFL betting spreads let you place bets on a game while it’s happening, so you can change your mind based on how the teams are doing.
For example, if the Pittsburgh Steelers start the game as favorites by 2 points against the Los Angeles Chargers, you might see the spread change during the game.
-
Before the game: Steelers are -2 (this means they need to win by 3 points or more for your bet on them to win).
-
During the game: If the Steelers are doing really well and leading by a lot, the spread might change to -4. Now, if you bet on the Steelers, they need to win by 5 points or more.
-
But if the Chargers score a lot of points and take the lead, the spread could change to +1 for the Chargers. This means if you bet on the Chargers, they can win the game or lose by 1 point for your bet to win.
So, with live betting, you can make choices based on what’s happening right in front of you. Just remember to act fast because the spreads change quickly!

NFL Betting: Vick, Steelers, Look to Conquer Rivers, Chargers!
Previous Betting News
Michael Vick and the Pittsburgh Steelers will look conquer Philip Rivers and the San Diego Chargers when the two AFC playoff hopefuls square off in a Week 5 matchup that looks like one of the most intriguing ones on the Week 5 docket for NFL betting fans. Now, let’s find out if the Steelers can pull off the road upset behind their veteran quarterback.
Pittsburgh vs. San Diego NFL Game Information and Odds
When: 8:30 PM ET, Monday, October 12, 2015
Where: Qualcomm Stadium, San Diego, California
NFL Odds: San Diego -3
Over/Under: 45.5
TV: ESPN
San Diego Chargers
The Chargers picked up a thrilling 30-27 win over Cleveland in Week 4 as Philip Rivers passed for 358 yards and three touchdowns.
While San Diego failed to cover the spread as 4.5-point home favorites, the Bolts are ranked an impressive third in total offense and second in passing, though those stats haven’t translated into a lot of points just yet (24.0 ppg, 14th). Unfortunately, the Chargers rank a pitiful 28th in points allowed (27.5 ppg).
Pittsburgh Steelers
The Steelers lost a gem they had in the bag by falling to Baltimore 23-20 in overtime last week, but have been solid on both sides of the ball in ranking 13th in scoring (24.0 ppg) and eighth in points allowed (18.8 ppg).
Pittsburgh led Baltimore 20-17 after three quarters but committed a series of self-inflicted errors that cost them late in regulation and overtime. Still, the Steelers got a great effort out of veteran quarterback Mike Vick in his first start since replacing the injured Roethlisberger.
Vick completed an efficient 19 of 26 pass attempts for 124 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions while Le’Veon Bell added 129 yards and one score on 22 carries.
Game Analysis:
60 percent of the betting public likes San Diego to cover the spread, but I’m going with the 40 percent of bettors that like Pittsburgh to cover, if not win outright.
The Steelers are 4-0 ATS in their last four road games and 6-1 ATS in their last seven games following an SU loss while San Diego has gone 3-12 ATS in their last 15 games and an uninspiring 1-6 ATS in their last seven home games and just.
I’m not expecting much defense in this one and if any team does decide to play any, it will almost certainly be the Pittsburgh Steelers.
My Pick: Pittsburgh 30 San Diego 28
