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.
