The Pittsburgh Steelers and Los Angeles Chargers will wrap up Sunday’s action in Week 11 when these two AFC squads go head-to-head in primetime for “Sunday Night Football.” Both of these teams were held out of the win column last time out with the Chargers falling to the Minnesota Vikings, while the Steelers tied with the Detroit Lions.
For Pittsburgh, Minkah Fitzpatrick has already been ruled out after landing on COVID-19 list, while quarterback Ben Roethlisberger missed last week’s game due to the virus and will need to be activated by 4 p.m.
Below, we’ll specifically be looking at the different betting angles that this primetime matchup has in store for us.
Really, this could be another game where rookie running back Najee Harris takes over as the Chargers have the worst run defense in the NFL and are allowing 155.1 rushing yards per game.
With the ground attack set to be centrally featured by Pittsburgh, that should slow the game down as well.
As we noted above, Harris is set to go against a Chargers run defense that is the worst in the NFL and allows massive yardage to opposing backs.
If he flirts with that number, his rushing ability should be able to push us over.
