The Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Los Angeles Chargers Sunday Night Football matchup holds weight as both teams find themselves out of the lead in their respective divisions. Here’s our latest prediction, pick, and NFL odds, as well as which channel is carrying the Week 11 contest.

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Los Angeles Chargers prediction and odds | Week 11

Spread: -4.5 Chargers (odds from DraftKings sportsbook)
Moneyline: -210 Chargers, +175 Steelers
Over/Under: 47 (-110 Over, -110 Under)

You may think of the Chargers as a high-scoring offense, but that’s not been the case dating back to the tail end of last season. In their previous 15 games, the under has hit 10 times. Even with Justin Herbert, Austin Ekeler, Keenan Allen, and Mike Williams, LA’s offense isn’t what you expect.

This week, the under currently sits at 47. Going against a lackluster Steelers offense, which may be without quarterback Ben Roethlisberger for another week due to COVID-19, betting trends say to lean towards the under.

If you need further evidence, you can look at last Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions, where the Mason Rudolph-led Steelers squad could only muster 16 points in 70 minutes of action.

The Steelers vs. Chargers pick could come down to the turnover battle

The best teams in the NFL are often those that know how to take care of the football. The Chargers are +2 in turnovers on the season while the Steelers are -3. Both the Steelers and Chargers have played in close games all season. Los Angeles (5-4 coming into Week 11) has won its games by a combined 34 points, and only one victory was by double-digits. It’s been much of the same for Pittsburgh, who’ve won their five games by a combined 25 points.

There’s no wiggle room for either team to turn the ball over. Conditions will be almost perfect in sunny Los Angeles on Sunday night, so it’ll be a matter of players executing and making sound decisions.
