This game will be a challenge for Los Angeles, as they will be without superstar running back Melvin Gordon. Gordon went down with a knee injury in the game against the Cardinals and is week to week. Austin Ekeler will take over most of the work and is more than capable of performing well. The Chargers will rely heavily on the game with Gordon out, and they are 9th in the league with 273 ing yards a game. They rank 7th in the league in rush yards and will be up against a 9th ranked Pittsburgh run defense. That, along with Gordon’s absence, could be trouble for the Chargers.

Pittsburgh comes into the game boasting one of the best offenses in the league. They are 4th in the league in total yards. They are heavy and are 2nd in the league with 325 ing yards a game. The run game is 27th in the league in yards. Roethlisberger will face a touch challenge against a strong Chargers defense. They are only allowing 227 ing yards a game, which is good for 8th in the league.

Chargers vs. Steelers Prediction x5e5r

Pittsburgh comes into the game -3.5. Pittsburgh’s defense has been strong all season and will be able to shut down the Gordon-less Chargers. The Steelers offense has too many weapons for the Chargers and will be able to score enough to get a victory here. Take the Steelers to win by at least a touchdown.
