Steelers vs. Chargers Week 10 Sunday Night Football Top Betting Picks, Predictions

The Pittsburgh Steelers will travel for a West Coast game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday Night Football.

The Steelers enter this game with a surprising 5-3 record, while the Chargers boast a 6-3 record in 2025.

Everything about this game tells me Los Angeles. I hate the way Pittsburgh wins games, and I don’t believe it’s sustainable. I also trust very little about their team, and there isn’t much to suggest they should be good.

That said, there is one very specific reason I’m siding with the Steelers — the Los Angeles offensive line.

The Chargers entered the 2025 season with arguably one of the best offensive lines in the NFL. They’ve dealt with a plethora of key injuries, and it’s fair to argue that they have one of the worst offensive lines in the league at this point.

Joe Alt and Rashawn Slater are both out for the season. Bobby Hart has been ruled out for the game this week as well. Finally, Mekhi Becton is dealing with an injury, although it looks like he’s going to play in this game.

The Steelers are a team that wants to win games at the line of scrimmage. They love blitzing, ranking third in the NFL in blitz rate (32.9%). They’ve also been able to get pressure (23.8%) on opposing quarterbacks.

Los Angeles is also dealing with injuries to multiple running backs, which has taken away from their run game. Instead, they’ve relied heavily on Justin Herbert. That’s never a terrible option, but it’s going to be difficult this week.

Pittsburgh should consistently get pressure on Herbert, specifically because we know what the Chargers want to do with the ball on offense. If they can’t get their run game working, Herbert is going to be in for a long night of pressure.

This is also a spot where the Steelers can control the line of scrimmage on offense. Their offensive line should be able to create yards for Jaylen Warren, who’s found success this season. Los Angeles hasn’t flashed the ability to stop the run in 2025, and this isn’t a matchup where that’s going to get better.

I don’t love the idea that we’re backing a team that has relied so heavily on turnovers to find success. I do think they can control this game, though, which will limit how often the Los Angeles offense is on the field.

If the Steelers have as big of an edge on the line on both sides of the ball as I believe, they should be able to keep this game close.
