Chargers at Steelers 12/2/18 - NFL Picks & Predictions

Heinz Field will play host to an Sunday night NFL clash between the Los Angeles Chargers and Pittsburgh Steelers. The Chargers have won eight of their 11 games and trail Kansas City by a full game for the AFC West Division lead. On Sunday, Los Angeles overcame an early ten-point deficit to score an impressive 45-10 home victory versus Arizona. Philip Rivers threw for three touchdowns for the Chargers, who outgained the Cardinals by a 414-149 margin.

For the season, Pittsburgh ranks fourth in total offense and averages 28.7 points per game. The Chargers counter with a defense that ranks ninth in yards allowed and is giving up just 19.9 points on average.

Los Angeles RB Melvin Gordon is dealing with an MCL sprain and could miss the next couple of weeks. Both teams have playmakers on the offensive side of the ball and very underrated defenses. With Gordon out, look for the under to cash. Final Score Prediction, Pittsburgh Steelers win but we like the under total best 24-20.
