Despite Week 9 Win, Steelers Are Underdogs Against Chargers

The Pittsburgh Steelers upset the 7-1 Indianapolis Colts in Week 9, but oddsmakers don’t expect the Steelers to start a winning streak. Heading into a Week 10 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium, the Steelers are consensus 3.5-point underdogs, per VSiN.

The Chargers are coming off a win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 9, but it came at a cost, as star OT Joe Alt suffered another ankle injury that should knock him out for next week and beyond. Los Angeles boasts a strong passing attack with QB Justin Herbert, and while WRs Quentin Johnston, Keenan Allen and Ladd McConkey had been carrying the load, Herbert found a new weapon with rookie TE Oronde Gadsden Jr.
