🔮 Steelers vs. Chargers prediction

The Chargers kick off with a tempo-advantaged script: Justin Herbert eyes Ladd McConkey in quick‐hitting routes, while Kimani Vidal handles early downs behind a rejuvenated interior line. Pittsburgh’s rush defense has been solid, but Los Angeles draws them out with play‐action and then strikes when the box opens up. A solid two-score lead by late in the third quarter gives the Chargers control.

Pittsburgh stays competitive as Aaron Rodgers orchestrates efficient sequences, Jaylen Warren slashes in the ground game, and DK Metcalf works the boundary. The issue is sustaining third-down conversions; LA’s disguised coverages force longer sequences and wear down the Steelers’ backups. A fourth-quarter push narrows the gap, but the Chargers’ earlier cushion and finish at the goal line seal the cover.

Score prediction: Chargers 24, Steelers 21

⬆️ Justin Herbert Over 1.5 passing TDs

Herbert has quietly been one of the league’s most efficient red-zone quarterbacks this season, and the matchup aligns perfectly with that trend. Pittsburgh’s defense ranks among the worst in red-zone touchdown rate allowed and struggles to disguise coverage once teams cross the 30.

The Steelers’ pressure packages remain potent, but Los Angeles has countered with more quick reads and heavy use of motion — concepts that have boosted Herbert’s TD efficiency from condensed sets. Even if the Chargers lean on Kimani Vidal early, this game script projects them to score three offensive touchdowns, with at least two coming through the air.

The Steelers’ secondary is also vulnerable against motion and wheel routes, a key area for rookie Ladd McConkey and tight end Will Dissly. McConkey’s yards-after-catch skill gives Herbert multiple high-probability scoring looks near the goal line, especially off play-action. In a home environment where Herbert’s historically sharp (2.2 passing TDs per home start this year), clearing 1.5 touchdowns is a realistic and data-backed play — even if the Chargers remain balanced overall.

Best bet: Herbert Over 1.5 passing TDs (-150 via FanDuel)
