Both the Chargers and Steelers enter Sunday's action with 2-0 records, but it's the defense that has been the catalyst for both teams. So, it should come as no surprise to see our NFL picks backing the Under in this contest.
Pittsburgh is third in EPA per play on defense, second in EPA per dropback, and fourth in EPA per rush. The Steelers are allowing the fifth-fewest yards per game in the NFL and with a banged-up Herbert being less of a threat, defensive coordinator Teryl Austin should be able to sell out to stop the run.
The only team allowing fewer points than Pittsburgh is LA - 6.5 points per game - and this defense should cause all kinds of trouble for Fields. The Steelers are allowing the third-fewest rushing yards per game and with Herbert hurting, you best believe T.J. Watt and Co. will be focused on Dobbins all game.The Steelers opened as a 2.5-point home favorite and while the line did dip to -1.5, it’s come back up to between -2.5 and -3.The Over/Under opened as high as 39 but has slowly dropped to 34.5 with the news of Herbert’s ankle injury.
