Looking to move to 3-0, the Pittsburgh Steelers open as slight favorites for their Week 3 home opener against the Los Angeles Chargers. According to the sports book VSIN, the Steelers are 2.5-point favorites over the Chargers to begin the week.
A close line is reflective of the team’s spotless record. Pittsburgh and Los Angeles remain in the land of the unbeatens, though they’ve come in different ways. The Steelers have twice emerged victorious despite having one touchdown through eight quarters, winning two low-scoring slugfests on the back of their defense. The Chargers haven’t put on a light show but have crossed the 20-point barrier in both games, beating the Las Vegas Raiders 22-10 in Week 1 before easily handling the hapless Carolina Panthers 26-3 this Sunday.
